Expanding smart replies everywhere you receive messages in Google Chat
Building upon recently introduced features in Google Chat, such as smart compose and autocorrect, Google has announced that smart replies are expanding from direct messages to group messages and spaces on Chat on web. You can now utilize smart replies, powered by machine learning, to quickly respond when you're on the go, in a hurry or just want to take the tediousness away from typing messages in Chat.
With Google Docs, you can create and edit emails using a template that easily converts to Gmail when you're ready.
