Google Announces 'Smart Reply' for Inbox by Gmail App

Google has announced a new 'Smart Reply' feature is coming to its Inbox by Gmail app.

What if there was a way for your inbox to guess which emails can be answered with a short reply, prepare a few responses on your behalf and present them to you, one tap away? Well, starting later this week, Inbox will do just that with Smart Reply.

Smart Reply suggests up to three responses based on the emails you get. For those emails that only need a quick response, it can save precious time or give you a jump start on your response.


Inbox uses machine learning to recognize emails that need responses and to generate the natural language responses on the fly. If you're interested in how Smart Reply works check out this post. The responses you choose or don't choose will help improve future suggestions.

Smart Reply will be rolling out later this week on both Google Play and the App Store in English. You can download Inbox by Gmail from the App Store for free.
