What is Magic Compose and how do I use it?

During the event, this feature was one of many that were talked about to show how the company is working on generative AI applications.
According to an official tutorial video on a Google Messages help page, users first tap on a speech bubble icon (officially called “Message suggestions”) in the text field. This brings up a list of fairly generic replies to choose from. When you choose one, the icon changes into a pencil with a star on top (“Rewrite suggestions”). When you tap that icon, a list of expanded prompts comes up. These prompts may have more punctuation or even emoji.
