Of many announcements made at I/O 2018 conference, one was the Smart Compose feature in the Gmail app. The AI-infused feature offers an easy and convenient way to quickly compose emails by auto-completing the sentence with smart predictions.
Google has now started rolling out the “Smart Compose” to Gmail users across the globe. Since the feature is under “Experimental Access”, you might not find the option to enable Smart Compose in Gmail straightaway. The firm will first collect feedback on the feature, and then roll it out for everyone.

How to enable Gmail Smart Compose:
The Smart Compose feature is still in its preliminary phase, so you won’t find it very effective or promising at the start. The suggestions it may offer might not fit your sentence formation many a time, but the good thing is that the feature operates in the background, and you can continue writing an email like you normally would. Google says that the feature will get better with time.
