Gmail’s “Help me write,” an AI-based assistant for drafting your emails, is a useful tool, but it can on occasion sound somewhat stiff compared to your own voice.
This should now change. In a blog post published Thursday, Google said it added two personalization enhancements to its Gemini-powered Gmail tool.
One is topic contextualization, a feature that can connect Gmail to your Google Drive and Gmail based on your prompt, and then insert relevant info into your email draft based on the data it gathered from these apps.

The other new feature is tone and style personalization, enabling AI to write drafts that match the tone and style of your previous emails.
That’s better.

In an example Google has provided, the user is drafting an email on recent influencer campaign launches, and the AI is able to get the actual names of the campaigns from Google Drive files, as well as info on how these campaigns are doing from recent emails. On top of that, the tone of the email is a bit more casual.
Google originally announced these changes in February, but they’re now rolling out to following users: Business Starter, Standard, and Plus, as well as Enterprise Starter, Standard, and Plus. The feature is also rolling out to Google AI Plus, Pro, and Ultra consumer-grade users, as well as on the Google AI Pro for Education suite.
