2. Smart Replies - Gmail uses AI to make inline suggestions regarding what words may follow your current typing on an email. If you agree with the suggestions, simply tap the "tab" button and like magic the suggested words become part of your email. The Smart Reply feature can save you thousands of keystrokes and all of its suggestions are spelling and grammatically correct.
3. Undo Send - Gmail makes it possible for you to "unsend", or retrieve emails that you mistakenly sent. There is a setting in your gmail that allows you to select the amount of time for the "Undo Send" to operable. If you configure the setting to 30 seconds you will have a full 30 seconds after you push the "send" button to change your mind and take back your email.
