The help function in text writing is one of the most common and popular due to artificial intelligence. Not only has it appeared as one of the requests in chatbots like ChatCPT or Bard, but it has also been integrated as a separate option into various programs and services. You can ask for an email to be created for you about a specific topic, write a personal message, create text in a spreadsheet or Word/Google Docs text file, create a note, and much more. It is quite logical that this feature will now come to the browser, saving you from the trouble of manually writing such texts or importing them from third-party services.

How will it work?

The working name of the new function is Compose or CCO. But it will probably be different when it’s released.

• Based on what is known so far, we can say that the “Help me write” option will appear in a pop-up window as you type, with the ability to autocomplete (replace current text with newly created text).
• For example, you can type a few words of your own, delete them, and then ask the AI ​​to expand the thought and fill it with humor and emojis. Or create text completely from scratch that describes the desired result.
• The function can be called from the menu with the right mouse button.
• Instead of relying solely on your cue, Google’s AI will examine the content of the page to get more context about what you’re going to type.
• It looks like there will be a few ways to customize the AI’s writing style, but there will be fewer options than in Docs or Messages.
• You can ask the AI ​​to “Shorten” or “Expand” the text, or you can ask for something more “casual” or “formal.”

The query and the result may be read, processed and commented on by reviewers who are natural persons for the purpose of improving and improving Google products. However, you can change this at any time in the settings.

The new feature is currently being tested. We probably won’t see this until February 2024, when the Chrome 122 build will be released.
