With the “Help Me Write” feature, Alphabet-owned Google has also rolled out a ”polish” shortcut, an automated option that appears for draft messages with a word limit exceeding 12. Gmail web users would be able to access this tool by a keyboard shortcut: Ctrl + H.
Furthermore, the mobile variant of Gmail will also receive a significant upgrade in the “Refine my draft” feature. Instead of requiring users to swipe through various editing options such as polish, formalise, elaborate, and shorten.
This latest upgrade will improve messages only with a single swipe of the “polish” shortcut. While the extra fine-tuning is available through Google's comprehensive suite of AI editing tools.
