Google’s AI powered Smart Reply feature is already available on some of its products including YouTube and Gmail. Google has now decided to extend the feature to Docs, its free Web-based word processor application that lets user create and format documents and work with other people. Google says this feature will help reduce the time it takes to respond to comments in Docs, by providing AI-generated responses to choose from.
The feature is already being rolled out to Google Docs users and will be available to all Google Workspace customers, as well as G Suite Basic and Business customers. Google say It should roll out automatically to everyone overtime and will be turned on by default. You can, however, decide to turn it off at any time. Here’s how to Turn Smart Reply on or off in Google Docs.
