How to Create a Draft with Gemini in Gmail
As a human resources manager, you might need to send a company-wide personnel announcement to welcome the new VP of Marketing. Here’s how you can create a draft using Gemini in Gmail:
- Open Gmail and click on ‘Compose’.
- In the toolbar that appears, select ‘Help me write’.
- Type your prompt, for instance, “Welcome the new VP of Marketing.”
- Click ‘Create’. If the generated message meets your expectations, select ‘Insert’.
How to Edit the Prompt for Gemini in Gmail
If the generated message doesn’t meet your expectations, you can edit the original prompt in order to generate a new response.
For instance, if the original prompt was “Welcome the new VP of Marketing,” and Gemini created a personalized message to the new VP, but your goal was to share the news with the entire company, you can rewrite the prompt to clarify the audience.
To edit the prompt:
- Click the ‘Help me write’ input box.
- Type your changes and click ‘Update’.
For example, you can change the prompt to “Write an email announcement to the company that welcomes the new VP of Marketing.” This will help Gemini create a more appropriate email.
How to Refine an Email Draft with Gemini in Gmail
Gemini in Gmail can refine text, including text that you have already written or text that was previously created with ‘Help me write’.
- To refine text you’ve already written, navigate to the ‘Help me write’ toolbar and select ‘Refine’.
- You can change the tone of your message to be more appropriate for a business context by selecting ‘Formalize’. If you want to make the text longer, select ‘Elaborate’. However, if the text is already too long, select ‘Shorten’, to reduce the length of the existing email.
- After refining, click ‘Insert’ to add the text to the body of your email message.
By following these steps, you can effectively use Gemini in Gmail to improve your prompts and refine your text, ensuring your emails are clear, concise, and impactful.
