A lot of us must have seen the Smart Compose feature by Google on Google Docs and Gmail. This machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) feature suggests full phrases to complete your sentences. It’s an excellent feature that saves time for many.

Google has now started rolling out Smart Compose for Google Chat, a communication tool developed by the company, for web. According to a report on XDA Developers, the feature will be available in English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, and Italian. As per a report on Android Police, this feature should be available for all users on the web by 11 July. It will be switched on by default. There’s no restriction based on the type of account, meaning all personal and workspace account holders will have access to Smart Compose on Google Chat, the report adds.
