Google brings a new ‘Polish’ feature to Gmail to transform rough notes into professional emails

Google has rolled out two new updates in its ‘Help me write’ feature for Gmail. These updates include a new ‘Polish’ option and ‘Refine my draft’ shortcuts on Android, iOS, and web versions. These new Gemini features allow users to convert a rough email draft into a more polished or professional form and improve the user’s tonality of writing.

This new update was announced via a new Google Workspace blog post and it improves the ‘Help me write’ feature, which is there to help you write different types of emails. The new shortcuts for ‘Help me write’ and ‘Refine my draft’ will appear right next to the body of the email in an empty draft. Tapping on it will open the full Help me write experience.

Once you have written 12 or more words in a draft, this tool will allow you to Polish, Formalize, Elaborate, or Shorten any email draft. This feature not only helps users draft polished and error-free emails but also helps them save time in drafting an entire email from scratch.

Next, if you tap the ‘Polish’ option, Gemini will then take your draft and try to edit a rough note and or will effortlessly refine your emails. If you like what Gemini AI has done, a ‘Replace’ button will put the polished version in place of your old draft, which you can send to any user of your liking.
