Type inference is a powerful Go feature that simplifies the use of generic functions by allowing a user to omit explicit type arguments. Instead, the compiler looks at the uses of the generic functions and deduces what the type arguments must be. The result is less boilerplate and clutter and ultimately cleaner code.
