Google has started rolling out Duet AI, its artificial intelligence (AI)-powered email writing tool, to Gmail on iOS and Android.
The tool adds a button when users are composing an email that reads "Help me write", and when selected allows users to input a prompt which it then uses to generate an email.

Duet AI can also be used to "Refine" an existing email draft or the AI-generated text in a number of ways, with the options to Formalise, Elaborate, Shorten, I'm Feeling Lucky for more whimsical responses, and Write a draft available.
The tool is being rolled out to those enrolled in the Workspace Labs programme, which is Google's tester programme that allows users to try out new AI-augmented features being added to the company's services.

According to Google's help center, Malaysia is one of the countries that Workspace Labs is available in, so those who have already opted in for testing should be receiving the AI features as part of the rollout.
Those keen on signing up for the Workspace Labs tests can do so on Google's website.

Workspace Labs also includes Duet AI features for other services from the company, such as presentation generation in Google Slides, data analysis in Google Sheets, background generation in Google Meet, and text-generation in multiple languages in Google Docs, though rollout will once again be at Google's discretion.
This comes after the company's AI-centric Google I/O conference, where it showed off AI-powered tools like MusicLM, an experimental text-to-music tool, along with further integration with AI in its Google Search.
