Google Smart Reply: Rise of the Machines

Although it was launched last year, Google Smart Reply didn’t come to my attention until this past May. At the bottom of an email, I noticed three boxed selections containing built-in responses. They were fairly similar to what I would’ve typed out: “Thanks!” or “Sounds good.” or “Got it.”

Google Smart Reply is designed to make our lives easier. If someone needs to cancel an appointment because he’s sick, not a problem—Google Smart Reply will provide three responses from which to choose:

“Oh no! Feel better!” “We will miss you!” or “Sorry to hear that.”
