Google has rolled out a set of AI-powered enhancements designed to help Gmail users craft higher quality emails. The new capabilities are accessible across the web interface as well as on Android and iOS devices, according to reports from PhoneArena.
Central to these enhancements is a feature named Polish. It is built to assist users while composing messages and offers three additional controls: Format, Elaborate, and Abbreviate. These controls act as presets that tailor the tone and structure of the text, making it easier to achieve a desired style with a few taps.
Users can access the feature by opening a fresh draft and selecting the Help me write option. The rollout is incremental, so availability may vary by user as Google gradually expands access to more accounts and devices.
Polish is currently limited to Google Workspace customers who have specific Gemini-related add-ons or Google One AI Premium. In practical terms, teams can expect to see the tool appear in their Gmail experience if their subscription aligns with the described plans. This tiered access model means some organizations will have the feature sooner than others, depending on their configured services and licenses.
Google has stated that Polish comes on by default and cannot be turned off. For many users, this means a seamless, consistent experience when drafting emails, with the option to override if a user’s workflow requires it. The design intent is to provide immediate benefits in everyday email tasks while preserving the user’s overall email composition flow.
In related news, Microsoft has previously flagged restrictions concerning access to cloud services by certain Russian entities, signaling broader considerations around policy, security, and compliance in cloud ecosystems. This context helps frame how large platforms balance feature development with governance and risk management across diverse user bases. The evolving landscape underscores the importance of staying informed about how AI features integrate with enterprise policies and regional regulations. The discussion around access and governance remains active as vendors refine who can use AI-assisted tools and under what conditions. (PhoneArena)
