New Google Help Me Write and when, how can I use it?

Google is introducing a new generative AI feature called “Help Me Write” that will enhance autocompletion aids in apps like Gmail, and could potentially transform how people write emails and documents.

What is Google Help Me Write?

Google is introducing a new feature called Help Me Write for Gmail and Google Docs. The feature will allow users to compose emails and text with limited input using Google’s large language model. The feature expands on the Smart Prompts system that currently exists and offers different writing tones, including Formalise, Elaborate, and Shorten. A fourth option called “I’m Feeling Lucky” is also available.

How to use Google Help Me Write?

Google’s Help Me Write feature simplifies the process of composing emails and documents. To use it in Google Docs, you would open a new document and click on the Help Me Write button.

Then, you would provide a prompt for what you want to write, click Create, and choose to Refine or Recreate the generated content. Once you’re satisfied with the content, you can click Insert to add it to your document.

Using Help Me Write in Gmail on your phone will be even simpler than in Google Docs. Here are the steps:

1. Open a new email.
2. Tap on the Help Me Write button at the bottom of the screen.
3. Write a prompt for what you want to say.
4. Tap on Create.
5. Tap on Recreate for a new suggestion or Refine to adjust the tone of the current content.
6. Once you’re satisfied with the content, tap on Insert to add it to your email.
