Inbox by Gmail’s new Smart Reply function will compose quick and concise replies for you

Replying to emails can be tiresome at times, taking up valuable time when you have other, more important tasks to complete. It seems Google is aware of this particular plight though, because the Gmail team has just announce a new feature called Smart Reply for Inbox by Google users that will provide a choice of short replies when browsing through your emails. 

Smart Reply is, as the name implies, smart. It will generate up to three responses that it deems is appropriate for a specific email. As you can see in the GIF above, Smart Reply comes up with three options to choose from, short, concise and relevant to the question posed in the email. It would appear especially useful for those email conversations that don’t require elaborate etiquette. Of course, just because there’s an applicable choice, doesn’t mean you can’t add more detail to it, as the GIF below illustrates quite nicely. I can imagine the Smart Reply feature proving to be quite useful

The Smart Reply function is an example of how machine learning can be useful in our everyday lives. The update should available from the Google Play Store sometime this week, so keep an eye out for it.
