Gmail gets Smart Reply tool for short responses

Gmail's Inbox app packs a number of features aimed at helping users better tackle their email load. Another new tool is called Smart Reply and it automatically suggests short responses to messages where a lengthy discourse isn't needed, Engadget reports.

After using machine learning to analyze the emails you receive, Inbox comes up with some appropriate responses to save time by allowing you to respond with fewer taps. And just like it does to wrangle spam, the app learns how you reply over time so it can offer better suggestions the more you use it.

Smart Reply will be hitting both the Android and iOS versions of Inbox this week.
