Gmail S New Insert Tool Makes It Easier To Add Gemini Responses To Your Email

Gmail is rolling out a new Insert option in the Gemini-generated replies, to easily enter the response in one go. Tapping this option will instantly add the line of text to your message drafts, automatically adding the person you are replying to. You can say that this works quite similarly to the “Help me write” feature also available on Gmail.
And you wouldn’t be wrong. This new “Insert” option on Gmail acts as a mere shortcut in Gemini. We have the feature available to us, and here’s how you can bring it up and use it.
The feature works very well and saves me the hassle of copying and pasting, time and time again. So if you want to try it out for yourself, then download the latest version of Gmail for Android. That is version number 2025.01.05.715 on the Google Play Store.

Gmail’s Insert Tool has Room for Improvement

While this feature itself was quite useful, I was still bothered by the fact that I had to manually edit the response so it didn’t become abundantly clear that I was using AI to take my place. When asked for a reply to the email, Gemini suggested three responses. I tapped on insert and it copy-pasted the text as it is. So I had to edit out the part that sounded more A (artificial) than I (as in me). I wish Google would allow me to select the text that I want to keep, and then show up the insert option as a pop-up or a floating option. This way, I don’t have to bother editing the text in the text window. But what are your thoughts about this feature? Do you like it and wish to use it, or don’t want anything to do with AI at all?
