Arr, mateys! Google be testin' a grand new AI contraption fer ye Android, makin' it possible to scribble emails with naught but ye voice. Aye, tis a fine piece o' technology, fit fer a true pirate!
If you struggle with composing emails, Google may have a solution for you. The company is working on a new AI voice feature for Gmail that aims to make drafting emails easier for Android users. This feature, called "Draft email with voice," allows users to submit prompts for emails using their voice, rather than having to type them. It is an extension of Google's existing "Help me write" tool, which creates draft emails based on written prompts.Currently, these AI tools are only available in Google's invite-only Workspace Labs program, where selected users can test out new features before they are released widely. It is unclear when these features will be officially rolled out to all users.
Unlike voice-typing functions found on standard Android keyboards, "Draft email with voice" is integrated within the Gmail app itself. When starting a new email, users can tap the microphone icon to record their prompt, such as "Schedule a meeting with John for next Friday at 3 pm to discuss the project." Gmail will then generate a full email draft based on the prompt, which users can edit or ask Gmail to generate a new version.
With these time-saving features, Gmail aims to enhance the email composition experience for its users. While the availability and supported devices for these features are still unknown, they provide a glimpse into the potential future of the Gmail app.
