The idea is that Google learns from your own answering style and tries to create replies that match it, though in my experience they're all far too brief for anyone to believe they've actually come from me.
The idea is pretty simple, Google scans your email (you knew it did that already, though, right?) and then creates three short responses that it thinks are appropriate for the query.įor example, if you get an email asking you to pick up some milk on the way home, your replies will include 'No Problem!' and 'Sorry, can't today'. 23/3/16 - Google introduces Smart Repliesĭo you spend too much time typing out quick replies to simple email queries, well Google now has an answer for that in the form of Smart Reply. Hopefully Google more carefully considers the ramifications of its pranks next year, that is if this blunder doesn't spell the end of its yearly japes. If you are still seeing it, please reload your Gmail page. Due to a bug, the Mic Drop feature inadvertently caused more headaches than laughs. UPDATE: Well, it looks like we pranked ourselves this year.
Google has had to pull the 'feature' and issue an apology on its Official Gmail Blog:
Cue lots of complaints on Google's product forums and claims of lost jobs when inappropriate GIFs were sent to Human Resource teams or work was sent into bosses. One little problem, not only was the button easy to hit accidentally as it was next to Send, but a bug meant it was being sent even when users weren't choosing to.
