The addition of generative AI features to Google Messages aligns with Google’s recent efforts to incorporate similar tools in other apps, such as Gmail, Google Docs, and Google Sheets.
The exact release date of this feature is yet to be announced, but it is speculated that Google IO 2023, scheduled for Wednesday, May 10, could be the platform for its announcement. Google IO is primarily a developer-focused event where Google unveils upcoming changes to Android, Wear OS, and various Google apps and services. In previous years, hardware announcements have also been made during the event.
