Google has just updated its Gemini writing tools within Gmail. These enhancements are designed to streamline email drafting for users with Google One AI Premium or the Gemini Workspace add-on.

A new “Polish” option has been added to the existing “Help me write” feature. This allows users to refine their drafts with more precision.

Since last August, Gmail’s “Help me write” feature has offered generative AI assistance for email creation. Users can now choose from options like “Formalize,” “Elaborate,” and “Shorten” to adjust their messages. The new “Polish” option, available on both web and mobile, further refines the message, turning rough draft notes into formal emails

When starting a new email draft, a “Help me write” shortcut will now appear in the body of the email. If the draft contains 12 or more words, a “Refine my draft” shortcut will be shown below the text, offering options to polish, formalize, elaborate, or shorten the draft, or even start a new one.

As these features continue to evolve, they are expected to further enhance productivity and ease of communication for Gmail users.

Hi, I’m Kiara Fabbri a Tech News Writer at WizCase. I'm a multimedia journalist with a keen interest in innovative and immersive news storytelling. Fluent in three languages—Italian, English, and Spanish—I'm deeply engaged in all facets of news reporting. I am currently undertaking a Ph.D. exploring VR applications in journalism. Following my studies in psychology (BSc) and political psychology (MSc), I embarked on a three-year journey across South America. During this time, I undertook a 4000 km solo bicycle trip from Chile to Brazil. There, I camped, cooked on the road, and volunteered in various facilities. It was during these travels that I discovered my passion for journalism. Subsequently, I pursued a Master's program in journalism innovation and enterprise. My career in journalism has seen me produce VR immersive experiences covering a range of topics. These include documenting an Anti Militaristic raid of a NATO Base, life in the Brazilian Favelas, the recent violent protest clashes in Buenos Aires and finally social projects run by Skaters in the Argentinian ghettos. In addition to my journalistic endeavours, I also practice parkour, a discipline I have cultivated over several years now. I love to make the most of this skill in my journalistic style; for example, it has enabled me to capture dynamic footage from heights during the recent violent clashes in Buenos Aires. There, I scaled heights and employed a long stick on my camera to create aerial 360° views. Through my dedication to pushing the boundaries of journalism, I am committed to amplifying voices, sparking meaningful conversations, and driving positive change in the world.
