Google says the feature has already saved people from typing more than 2 billion characters every week.

Last year, Google introduced Smart Compose on Gmail, where light-grey auto-completed suggestions appear as users begin to type. Phrases are suggested based on context, like "Have a great weekend!" when signing off an email on a Friday. It also minimizes spelling and grammar errors.

When it was introduced, the feature provoked a flurry of responses ranging from enthusiasm to concern.

Smart Compose builds on another AI-powered reply service that got its start on Gmail, Smart Reply. The smartphone-geared feature suggests a few short responses, like "Sounds good!" at the bottom of the Compose window, based off emails sent before.

For the time being, Smart Compose for Google Docs appears to be geared toward businesses. The beta version of the feature is currently only available to domain administrators, the company said.
