Gmail's Smart Compose which assists you to write emails is now live on Pixel 3
Smart compose suggests complete sentences within the body of the mail that you are composing.

This year at the Google I/O annual developers conference, the company announced a new feature called Smart Compose for Gmail, which will type out emails for you. Though the feature went live on the web version of Gmail soon after the conference, it hadn't reached the Pixels, until now. Smart compose is now available on the Pixel 3.The feature essentially assists you with composing emails. It suggests complete sentences within the body of the mail, while you are composing one, and that's about it. Google says that it constantly operates in the background and works on the similar principle as word suggestions in a virtual keyboard on iOS or Android.[caption id="attachment_5400401" align="alignnone" width="1280"]![Smart Compose in Gmail is live on the Pixel 3, Pixel 3 XL.
