Google adds AI-powered ‘Proofread’ feature in Gboard; to help users check text for spelling, grammar

Google has started to roll out an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered “Proofread” feature in Gboard for beta users.

The “Proofread” option appears in the keyboard’s toolbar with Gboard version 13.4, which is currently in beta on Android, allowing users to have their text checked for spelling or grammar errors on the fly, all powered by generative AI, reports 9to5Google.

The feature appeared on our Pixel Fold as a “Fix it” prompt with Google’s usual generative AI symbol. A pop-up then explains how proofreading works, with text being sent to Google for processing if you enable the feature.
