Just like Gmail Google smart compose uses AI to suggest what should you type next in a document or email. Smart compose was already in beta mode in the web apps of Google office suite. You can fill in your sentences with the text by swiping it. Google claims that this feature saves users 3 billion keystrokes a week, and based on my own use on web, I can say it is useful. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Other features coming to the apps include link previews as pop-ups, an updated comment interface, and vertical scrolling in Slides. You\u2019ll also be able to edit Microsoft Office files with Docs, Slides, and Sheets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
