Smart replies coming to Gmail

Those instant reply options in messaging apps are very helpful, but rarely are they really smart. This is where Google excels; using AI to personalize actions and content specifically for each user and situation. We have seen Google bring smart replies to Inbox, as well as Allo, and now Gmail is getting the same treat.

A good example of a scenario in which this feature would be useful is asking you for specific documents. Smart Replies could then suggest “No”, ” Yes, I’ll send them to you” or “I will have to look for them”. This example is much like the one Google shows in the GIF below.

The rollout will beign rolling out “later this week”. What do you guys think? Is this a feature you deem useful? I know I use smart and pre-written replies very often in other apps.
