Gmail gets even more Gemini love in the latest update

Google has been adding Gemini Assistant in almost all its products, be it software or hardware. About a week ago, we reported that Gmail might be getting some Gemini Assistant options integrated into its interface, and now we can confirm that the report was actually accurate.

If you’re making use of Gmail’s Smart Replies feature more often than not, we’re happy to let you know that the functionality got even better with the help of Gemini.

The Smart Reply feature was originally introduced seven years ago and it’s using Google’s machine learning to suggest three quick replies to emails based on the email’s content.

Although the feature saved people a lot of time, it has its limitations, especially if you’re the kind of person that loves longer than one sentence replies. So, Google is trying to further boost the functionality of the Smart Reply feature with Gemini.

If you want to respond with more than a simple “Sounds good to me!” or “Yes, I’m working on it,” then the new Gemini-related feature specifically designed for Gmail, contextual Smart Replies, will help you get more detailed responses to better fit the intent of your message.

To start using the new Gemini feature, simply initiate an email reply and you’ll be offered a few response options at the bottom of the screen, which should be much richer than Gmail provided before the integration of the contextual Smart Replies.
