I can't even get Gboard to capitalize "i" FFS, you expect it to do something even more complicated!? The state of keyboards are so bad today. I remember when you could vaguely type or swipe in Swype or Swiftkey and it would get your word correct most of the time, now they all fucking suck, Swiftkey just happens to suck slightly less than GBoard.
For it to do that, "Auto-Correct" in the Gboard settings has to be on. You can also kind of accidentally kill a feature like this by having a single lowercase i added to the dictionary. If you have, just remove it like someone showed above. Note: there is no list of words in the options anywhere where you can see the list, you can do it while typing anywhere though. Just type a single I, press space, then backspace, then drag the single "i" entry from the suggestions to the trash that appears when you hold the i.
side note: I have typed this comment using Gboard glide, and I had to correct a total of 2 words. Everything else was recognized as intended.
