Google's AI in Gmail will draft birthday invites, job cover letters

Google has given a sneak peek of the artificial intelligence (AI) features in Workspace apps. Now, the technology giant has rolled out public testing in Gmail and Docs. According to a report by 9to5Google, the feature caters to enterprise, education and consumers across United States. Google has invited this select group to sign up and opt in for the testing programme, with the ability to leave it at any point of time. 

With the generative AI feature in Gmail, now you can draft birthday invites, letters, job application and cover letter. You can even ask AI to shorten or elaborate a text you have written, which includes converting into bullet points.

The AI feature also allows users to make a message more formal. The website says that Google has shared how the unique interface looks like in Gmail for Android. 

On the other hand, the AI feature in Google Docs can help in making the text more detailed or rewrite to make it concise. It can draft blog posts, write screenplays and even song lyrics. The feature will have a ‘Help Me Write’ button to expand for revealing an input. The AI generates request for users to thumbs up or down, generate or view another text.

The participants in the AI test programme can submit feedback for Google to use it to refine on the functionality. It will be the first time that the people outside of the company will have access to such Workspace features.

The tech giant will expand its availability and those interested will be asked to monitor a new landing page for opportunities to participate.
