Google’s Magic Compose lets you personalize your texts

Google recently announced a new feature today that uses Android’s guided customization and generative artificial intelligence to help users write more personalized text in its Messages app. Magic Compose lets you choose the tone of your message and then adjusts the text for you. You can use it for different types of messages and conversations. For instance, you can make your message more upbeat or more formal, or you can have some fun and make it sound like Shakespeare.

Magic Compose could be helpful for people who text a lot and need to switch between different tones and styles. But it doesn’t seem like an essential feature from what was demonstrated so far. It’s more like another way for the company to show off its AI capabilities in its Android apps. Along with other new AI-related tools, this new Google Messages feature could make Android more attractive in the competitive device market. Magic Compose will be available in beta later this summer.
