Gemini’s ‘Help Me Write’ feature can now refine your Gmail drafts
If you have an email in your drafts that you’re struggling to perfect, a new Gemini feature could be just what you need. In a recent blog post, Google announced two new Gemini features: the ‘Help me write’ option for refining Gmail drafts on web devices, and ‘Refine my draft’ shortcuts for Android and iOS devices. Here’s how the technology works: When refining a draft message, Google explains that you can choose from three options—formalize, elaborate, and shorten. Selecting one will prompt AI to adjust your text accordingly: formalize for a more official tone, elaborate for added details, or shorten for a more concise version. If you like the suggestion, you can tap ‘Replace’ to apply the changes. Your draft doesn’t need to be complete; even rough notes of at least 12 words can be transformed into a polished email by Gemini. On mobile, you’ll find a ‘Help me write’ shortcut within the email body, offering the full experience. If you start drafting a few sentences, the feature will switch to ‘Refine my draft’. Additionally, ‘Help me write’ can generate an email from scratch if needed. Gemini in Gmail is available to Google Workspace customers with a Google One AI Premium plan, the Gemini Education and Education Premium add-on, or the Gemini Business and Enterprise add-on.

Don’t want to Google?
Google is the leading search engine due to its speed, user-friendliness, and seamless integration with various apps and tools you likely use, such as YouTube, Gmail, and Google Docs. Its popularity is also fueled by its status as the default search engine on many mobile devices, including Apple’s Safari. Google’s parent company, Alphabet Inc., paid Apple $20 billion in 2022 to secure default search engine status for Safari on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Now is a perfect time to evaluate our reliance on Google and explore other options. We don’t have to “Google” everything—there’s a whole range of search engines available where we can Bing, Ask, and DuckDuck to our heart’s content. If privacy is your main concern, DuckDuckGo could be a suitable alternative. Built on the idea that relevant search results shouldn’t require sharing personal data, DuckDuckGo does not track searches or collect data to build a profile on users. Its interface is clean and simple, offering results in a manner like Google, with filters for region, date, and other criteria. For visual results, Bing might be your better option to explore. Bing was among the first search engines to adopt AI, offering full access to Microsoft’s Copilot AI. This feature answers questions and retrieves data from the web, presenting topic summaries prominently.
