Google just made it a lot easier to draft an email on Gmail by incorporating Gemini into it. With the new “help me write” and “polish” features powered by Gemini, paid Gmail users can now write, edit, and change the tone of their email with just a single click.

Gemini-powered Gmail can now polish, formalise, elaborate or shorten a draft, or it can write a new draft altogether. This feature is currently rolling out for Google

Workspace customers with Gemini Business and Enterprise add-on, Gemini Education and Education Premium add-on, or Google One AI Premium subscription.

To use the “polish” feature on Gmail, a user has to enter 12 or more words of content on the Gmail draft window on smartphones, while the “help me write” shortcut will be visible for eligible users on the email compose window. The new Gemini edit options can be accessed by swiping right. This capability is available on web, Android, and iOS devices.

In June 2024, Google introduced the ability to summarise emails on Gmail using Gemini, as a part of the Google Workspace Labs feature. Again, this feature is also only available for corporate customers and users with Google One AI Premium subscription.
