Google’s ‘Help me write’ Gmail tool will be able to generate emails personalised to your own tone and style.
The tech giant has announced new “personalisation enhancements” for its AI email assistant with the goal of the feature becoming “an even more helpful partner”.
As well as matching tone and style, ‘Help me write’ can also now connect to your Gmail and Google Drive.
Explaining the “topic contextualisation” feature, the tech company wrote in a blog post: “The feature can now connect to Google Drive and Gmail based on your prompt.
“It will then use the context from these apps to automatically insert relevant information into the email draft, reducing the time you spend toggling between apps to find specific details.
When it comes to “tone and style”, the programme is able to draw on previous emails.
The company added: “Help me write can also now create personalised email drafts that match the tone and style of your previously written emails.”
Google noted that “common use cases” which can be boosted by these changes including “inquiries from customers and partners”, distributing information and documents to collaborators, “teacher-parent” communications, “providing or asking for feedback from peers” and many more.
They said: “With these new changes, users will save valuable time currently spent on cross-Workspace app context switching to reference correct sources, typing, copy-pasting, and formatting.
“Just type a short prompt, and delegate the draft writing for common use cases.”
And extended rollout started on May 5, while the feature is “available by default and activated for prompts that have relevant context”.
