Improvements To Help Me Write in Gmail
As previously announced, Help me write in Gmail is evolving into an even more helpful partner that can pull in your natural voice and personalized context to get you closer to the perfect draft every time. We’ve added two new personalization enhancements:
- Topic contextualization: The feature can now connect to Google Drive and Gmail based on your prompt. It will then use the context from these apps to automatically insert relevant information into the email draft, reducing the time you spend toggling between apps to find specific details.
- Tone and style personalization: Help me write can also now create personalized email drafts that match the tone and style of your previously written emails.

With these new changes, users will save valuable time currently spent on cross-Workspace app context switching to reference correct sources, typing, copy-pasting, and formatting. Just type a short prompt, and delegate the draft writing for common use cases, including:
- Responding to inquiries from customers and partners
- Distributing information, documents, or materials to collaborators
- Reporting progress, milestones, and project-related issue to leadership
- Seeking assistance or answers from team
- Providing or asking for feedback from peers
- Sharing team announcements or progress reports to the organization
- Introducing new projects
- Exploring potential partnerships
- Teacher-parent- communications
- Grant proposals
