@prlambert any chance you'll add it to the desktop version of gmail? It's my favorite way to respond.

@andrewwarner Great to hear that! Here's the response we gave VentureBeat: "We asked Google if the company plans to bring Smart Reply to Gmail on the web, and a spokesperson replied the team is “heavily considering this as a future feature, but we don’t have any current plans to share.”" https://venturebeat.com/2017/05/...

@prlambert Hi Paul. Is there a plan to setup an API for this? For example invite 3rd party developers to develop smarter replies?

Uh oh, let's be careful about this... Avogadro Corp, I mean Google, might end up creating our ELOPe...

I love this as someone that spends SO much time in my inbox, often replying to cold emails with a similar response. On the other hand, things like this might make us more robotic and transactional in our communication. Thoughts, @prlambert?

@rrhoover A common initial misconception of Smart Reply is that it's a fully-contained automatic reply that will send after you tap. In Gmail & Inbox it doesn't work like that – it prefills a compose window, so you can always modify before it sends. Many people do, they use it as an 'accelerator' to get started, but still add personal touches.

@prlambert A common misconception or suboptimal design. May I suggest a redesign to emphasize exactly what you say the feature does? I too thought it would instantly send, as I believe the design suggests it will.
