Google Chat’s smart replies feature expands to groups and spaces

Smart Replies were added to Google Chat a long time ago, but they were only available for direct messages. However, that’s about to change, as Google just announced that Smart Replies in Chat will extend to group messages and Spaces across the web.

Powered by Google machine learning, Smart Replies are the perfect tool for quickly replying to a message when you’re on the go or just want to avoid typing long messages.

According to Google, the new feature is now available to all users, including Google Workspace customers and users with personal Google accounts. There is no need to make any changes to your Google Chat app as the feature will appear automatically.

Once added to your Chat app, you will be able to select one of the three response options that appear in a chat or personalize your response before sending it.

It’s important to add that Google Chat Smart Replies are only available in English, French, Portuguese, and Spanish. Those who wish to disable Smart Replies for any reason can do so by clicking Settings and unchecking the Smart Reply box.
