- A new feature was discovered in the beta version of Google Messages.
- The feature is believed to be an AI generation tool that will come up with responses to the text messages you receive.
- It’s possible Google could be planning to replace Smart Reply with this tool.
The Smart Reply feature in Google Messages allows you to quickly send brief replies to the text messages your receive. But what if you get a text that requires a response longer than a “Yep” or “sounds good?” It looks like Google could be working on something that will generate more detailed replies to the texts you get.
An APK teardown — conducted by 9to5Google — of the beta version of Google Messages has revealed a new feature. Found in the composition box, there appears to be a button that uses a sparkle icon similar to the one used by Bard — Google’s ChatGPT rival. This seems to hint that Google may be trying to integrate an AI feature specifically meant to generate replies.
