Google brings AI-powered 'Help me write' tool to Chrome Browser: Details

The feature is only available in the US as an experiment. However, it is expected to roll out in more regions in the coming months

Google is testing artificial intelligence (AI)-powered “Help me write” feature on Chrome browser in the US. Available only in the English language, the feature is currently in the experimental stage and will be available to users enrolled in Google's Experimental AI program on Chrome. For reference, the “Help Me Write” feature is already available on Google Messages, Gmail, Docs, and Keep with some variation

According to Google, Help me write on Chrome helps users draft messages, leave a well-written review or make a formal inquiry on the web. With the feature enabled, users can rewrite existing texts, prompt the writing assistant to generate long-form content, edit responses and more.
