Draft replies to questions about your business with Gemini (alpha)

Important: This is an experimental feature rolling out to Gemini Business, Gemini Enterprise, Gemini Education, and Gemini Education Premium in Gemini for Google Workspace Alpha.

In Gmail on the web, Gemini might detect that you got a message that asks about your business. When you open the message, below the subject you see a suggested prompt. Clicking the prompt starts an AI-powered workflow to help you draft a professional reply based on previous emails and any files in Drive you choose. During Alpha, this feature is only available in English.

Note: You can’t enter this prompt in the Gemini side panel yourself. To use it, click the suggested prompt when it appears. It won't appear if you're using a Gmail mobile app.

Have Gemini draft replies to questions about your business

  1. When you see the prompt Reply to questions about my business on an open message, click it. The Gemini side panel opens and Gemini generates a draft from related emails.
  2. If needed, edit the message. You can also use Help me write to refine the content.
  3. (Optional) To add reference documents for Gemini to use, such as an FAQ or price list, and generate a new draft:
    1. Click Add files.
    2. Select any files you want to use. You can add up to 3.
    3. Click Replace draft.
  4. Click Send.

Next, you can have Gemini automatically draft replies for similar future messages, which you can then edit and send when you’re ready.

  1. After you generate the first reply, click Automate for future questions. The proposed automation is set up the same way as the first run, including any reference documents.
  2. (Optional) To add or update the reference documents, click Edit.
  3. Click Automate.

Review drafts autogenerated by Gemini

You can find the drafts that Gemini generates in your inbox. You can tell them apart from drafts you write by the Gemini icon and the blue Draft text.
