Now Google will help you send canned replies to Web-based email too - CNET

Google is already reading your email, so why not let it help reply too?

Users of Google's Inbox email Web service can now save time and effort responding to messages, courtesy of a feature called Smart Reply.

Already available for Google's Inbox mobile app, Smart Reply scans your email and then suggests up to three automated responses based on the messages you receive. If one of those responses hits the mark, simply select and send it. You can also modify the replies before sending.

Inbox is an alteative to Google's Gmail that offers a cleaner interface and uses algorithms to sort and categorize your messages so you can more easily decide which ones to look at and which ones you can ignore.

Smart Reply may seem simple on the surface. But to make it work, Google employs a variation of artificial intelligence known as deep leaing. Google has been using deep leaing to give services like email more of a human touch by teaching them to anticipate what you want to do so you don't have to do it yourself.
