Google Inbox’s awesome Smart Reply feature, which was launched on mobile back in November, is now available on the web.

The feature is already being used for 10 percent of all replies on Android and iOS — and it’s just as good in your browser.

Smart Reply aims to save you time by suggesting replies to your emails. They’re not just preset template replies, either; Inbox intelligently detects the context of your email, then provides custom replies that fit best.

“It’s particularly helpful when you’re jamming through lots of emails on your laptop,” Google says. That’s especially true if you’re in a rush and trying to wade through the many messages waiting for your response in your inbox.

In some cases, the Smart Reply is all you need. In others, it’s a helpful start. Try it out today at inbox.google.com.
