Google's "Smart Reply" App Will Answer Your Emails Automatically

Google's mobile software is introducing a brand-new smart feature to make email even more efficient,
with the coming integration of an upcoming feature called Smart Reply.

It will suggest short responses, based on the contents of an email.

Google described how the app uses machine learning to “recognise emails that need responses” and suggest some options in natural language.

Smart Reply suggests up to three responses based on the emails you get, and can help users save plenty of time replying to certain responses. Rather than typing a reply yourself, Smart Reply will automatically enter text for you, which could be enough to deal with quick emails that need responses right away.

“There’s actually a lot going on behind the scenes to make Smart Reply work,” Google writes. “Inbox uses machine learning to recognize emails that need responses and to generate the natural language responses on the fly.”

Google Inbox will receive an update later this week with the Smart Reply feature on iOS and Android.
