PARIS: Gmail’s new ‘Smart Reply’ function uses artificial intelligence software to suggest the best replies to emails.
Email was supposed to make our lives easier, but has instead turned into an enormous time sink, with workers spending hours every day reading and responding to messages.
Gmail, the world’s biggest email service, made the arduous task somewhat easier when Google introduced it in 2004, but emails still take up around 13 hours a week, according to one survey.
Now, Google wants to help fix this. The internet giant has unveiled Smart Reply, software that provides automatic responses to some emails.
