Google has just updated its Gemini writing tools within Gmail. These enhancements are designed to streamline email drafting for users with Google One AI Premium or the Gemini Workspace add-on.
A new “Polish” option has been added to the existing “Help me write” feature. This allows users to refine their drafts with more precision.
Since last August, Gmail’s “ Help me write ” feature has offered generative AI assistance for email creation. Users can now choose from options like “Formalize,” “Elaborate,” and “Shorten” to adjust their messages. The new “Polish” option, available on both web and mobile, further refines the message, turning rough draft notes into formal emails
When starting a new email draft, a “Help me write” shortcut will now appear in the body of the email. If the draft contains 12 or more words, a “Refine my draft” shortcut will be shown below the text, offering options to polish, formalize, elaborate, or shorten the draft, or even start a new one.
As these features continue to evolve, they are expected to further enhance productivity and ease of communication for Gmail users.

GPT-4o Gets Customizable New Features

OpenAI introduced a new feature today, allowing customization of its most powerful AI model, GPT-4o. Companies can use their own company data to train GPT-4o on additional information specific to a particular task or subject area.
Fine-tuning tailors GPT-4o’s responses by training the model on relevant data, customizing the structure and tone of responses, and following complex domain-specific instructions.
For example, a company that manufactures cameras might fine-tune an AI model to function as a customer-service chatbot capable of answering questions about camera settings, lens compatibility, and maintenance tips.
Bloomberg suggests that this move comes as startups encounter increasing competition for their AI products aimed at businesses while companies face mounting pressure to show tangible benefits from their investment in AI.
OpenAI stated in its announcement that GPT-4o fine-tuning has been tested with several partners and yielded promising results. OpenAI claims that partners such as Cosine and Distyl have achieved “state-of-the-art performance” on various benchmarks.
The announcement states that the fine-tuned GPT-4o model enhanced Genie’s ability to identify and resolve bugs, build features, and refactor code with greater accuracy.
OpenAI is also offering 1 million training tokens per day for free to all organizations until September 23.
