Google is enhancing its Calendar app with a Gemini chatbot, bringing AI-powered assistance for scheduling. As reported by TechCrunch, the new feature is available through the Google Workspace Labs program, allowing users to manage their schedules via text queries.
To access this function, click the Ask Gemini icon in the upper right corner of the Google Calendar window. You can then choose a suggested query or enter your own. For instance, Gemini can help add events or locate a scheduled meeting with a specific person, notes NIX Solutions.
AI Assistance for Quick Scheduling
Gemini allows users to ask direct questions like, “What time is my meeting with my manager?” or “How many meetings do I have on Monday?” Additionally, it can handle commands such as setting up a workout schedule for the entire month. The goal is to streamline calendar management, reducing the need to manually search for information or enter events.
With AI capabilities, users can retrieve details and update schedules efficiently using simple text commands. This enhancement aligns with Google’s broader effort to integrate AI into its Workspace tools.
Beta Rollout and Future Availability
Google Calendar is the latest Workspace app to receive Gemini support, following its introduction in Gmail, Google Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides, and Chat. The feature is currently in beta, with no official release date for wider access. Yet, we’ll keep you updated as more integrations become available.
