Help Me Write
The first feature, called Help Me Write, allows users to rewrite, rephrase, or change the tone of selected text in any text box. Simply right-click on the text and use Google’s AI to generate suggestions. While the feature may not suit everyone’s writing style, it provides an interesting tool for users to experiment with.
Generative AI Wallpaper System
