If you’re like me, you get bombarded with hundreds of emails on a daily basis. Though I try my best to answer each one, I quite often come up short. Now thanks to Gmail, all of my emails can now be answered automatically. Today Gmail launched Autopilot, a service when enabled will automatically read through each email and generate a reply on the fly. All you have to do is periodically log in every week or so to ensure Autopilot is calibrated optimally. You can make adjustments to tone and style and to make your emails look even more authentic you can add the over usage of capitalization, typos, and even emoticons. Just set it and forget it!

Autopilot also works with Gmail chat. Autopilot will have a complete conversation with your friends while you’re living your real life. You can customize responses based on contacts. So emails and chats from people you care about can be replied too with love, and for people you don’t like messages can be adjusted to be more harsh.

What happens if a sender and recipient both have Autopilot on? According to Google:

Two Gmail accounts can happily converse with each other for up to three messages each. Beyond that, our experiments have shown a significant decline in the quality ranking of Autopilot’s responses and further messages may commit you to dinner parties or baby namings in which you have no interest.

So if you’re interested in trying Google Autopiolit email us at this address to get a Beta invite, we only have a few so act quick.
