Google today announced that it has launched a new feature known as 'Smart Reply' to its Inbox app that uses machine learning to recognise emails and automatically create responses to those emails on your behalf; without you typing a word, sometimes.
When a client or loved one sends you an email and it successfully finds its way to your inbox, Smart Reply scans the contents of the email and provides three answers based on what the email contains. You then pick the best response it generated for you and send by a tap. It could also help you create the first sentence of an email that needs a longer reply, at least to avoid a waste of time and get things done as soon as possible.
Google says Smart Reply for Inbox app will continue to improve as it learns the best responses you select each time you reply to an email. It also said it will roll out the new feature to Android and iOS devices who have the inbox app installed, later this week.
