Google's new AI reply system could make texting feel easier

Google Messages introduces a tap-to-draft feature using Gemini AI that generates full contextual reply drafts from conversation context. Users tap prompts to instantly create extended responses instead of short smart replies like Thanks or Sounds good. The feature analyzes message history to suggest natural, editable drafts in real time. This expands Gemini's presence into messaging and aligns with Google's broader AI integration across Android apps.
