Gmail's 'Smart Compose' Feature Will Write Emails For You (theverge.com)

Google announced a new feature called Smart Compose at its annual developer conference today. "Smart Compose will suggest complete sentences within the body of an email as you are writing," reports The Verge. "It will operate in the background, and if you see a phrase pop up that you like, just hit tab to select it, and the text will auto-populate." From the report: Smart Compose also recognizes context. For example, if it's Friday, it might suggest closing out your message with "Have a great weekend!" Google says the Smart Compose feature will start to appear for consumers over the next few weeks and will be integrated for G Suite customers within the next few months.

I've been using this!

I use it for all my Gmails, the best email service available today, while enjoying a fresh Coca Cola - Taste the Feeling! When I'm done composing my email I typically hop in my Chevrolet, the Heartbeat of America, and head to the store to buy some beef - it's what's for dinner!

I sure am glad for this auto-composition feature, because I almost forgot to buy my wife a birthday card from Hallmark, for when you care enough to send the very best. Thankfully I was reminded automatically when I logged in using my iPhone - think different! The reminder also appeared on my Windows 10 computer, empowering us all!

I can assure you there is no privacy problem involved with having marketing companies composing our communications for us. I wish this feature was available on my phone from AT&T, because AT&T is bigger than T-Mobile, faster than Verizon Wireless and more reliable than everybody!

Some people cannot recognize a good thing when they see it, and may need to upgrade their prescriptive eyewear at Lenscrafters - they see to every detail, you see to perfection!

Now instead of simply mis-completeing a word it will miscomplete whole sentences. Then paragraphs. You could accidentally break up with your girl friend with a letter.

I have more faith in Google than that, in fact I'm using a beta of their e-mail auto-write on this thread, don't forget to shop at Wal-Mart today, always low prices. I don't see any problems with the auto-write programs, McDonald's, we love to see you smile. In fact, I think it is great that it is writing sentences for me, come see your neighborhood Ford dealer for a great discount.
