Write Emails Faster with Gmail + Gemini AI

This video is brought to you by SaneBox More about them a little later in the video.

Are you tired of staring at a blank email wondering how you should reply or create a new message? Well, if you are a Google Gemini user, we can take advantage of AI directly here from within Gmail.

We're going to get started by coming all the way down to the bottom and to the right of your send button, you will see that there is an icon called Help me Write By Selecting This, we get this Help Me Write button and a few other buttons that will become available once we've added some text or once we've input some information.

So I'm going to go ahead and select Help me write, and this is where we can enter in our prompt. Now it's only a single line. I don't know what the maximum number of characters are, but of course you don't have to give it a whole lot of detail to get something worthwhile.

So here, I've given it this prompt. I wanted to write an email to a potential client who is wanting to pay at the end of the project instead of a deposit upfront. Express that I'm hoping we can revise the agreement to reflect this here. I can go to the right and select Create. 

And of course, AI is going to do its magic and it's important to note it's not going to input it directly into my email just yet. So before we get to the content of what it's come up with here, you can see that there's this line around the content and there's even a little X here, which I can use immediately to close or remove this.

But down at the very bottom of the email, you can see that we now have this big blue button, which will allow us to insert that content. Nothing will go into the email itself until we say so, but we also have a few other options available to us here as well. We can recreate, meaning we can ask it to do another version of this using the exact same prompt that we did, but we can also choose to refine it.

I'm going to come down here to this refine dropdown, and here I've got three options available to me. I can make it more formal. I can choose to elaborate, or I can choose to shorten. Now if I find that I haven't given it the most appropriate prompt, or perhaps it's not coming up with what I'm looking for, I've got one of two options. I can hit this X button here and this will close everything down and bring me back to the beginning where I can enter in a new prompt, or I can come right up here and select the prompt itself.

So in this example, I'm going to say an email to a new client who has not been satisfied with my service. Suggest that we set up a free consultation. I'm going to go ahead and select update in this case.

And you will notice by the response that it's given that there is no mention of the agreement or the contract from the previous prompt. Just keep in mind, every time that you go to change the prompt, it is not going - To the previous one. You are basically starting fresh, or this is a single prompt line each and every time.

Let's say I am happy with this one. I can't edit anything yet until I select insert, and now it has been put into my email. I can go ahead and either add my name here or just remove it since I have my signature down below.

And of course, I'm also going to come up here and make sure that I mention them by name. You may want to do a double check in terms of how many brackets or boilerplate information is there.

The last thing you want to do is send out an email that says Hi client's name. So make sure to do a double check before you hit send.
