inform you of vs inform you

Both 'inform you of' and 'inform you' are correct, but they are used in different contexts. 'Inform you of' is used when specifying the information being shared, while 'inform you' is more general and does not require a specific object. The choice between them depends on the level of detail you want to provide.
