Google Chrome's "Help Me Write" AI Feature

Writing on the web can be daunting, especially if you want to articulate your thoughts on public spaces or forums. Using Google Chrome's artificial intelligence (AI)-powered "Help Me Write" feature can help you write with more confidence on the web!

This AI feature will help you start writing or refine something you've already written. "Help Me Write" will understand the context of the webpage you're on to suggest relevant content. For example, as an avid gardener, if you're writing a review for garden shears, Chrome will pull out relevant details about the item from the page to support my recommendation so it's more valuable to other hobbyists.
