Google Calendar is about to get a Gemini AI upgrade, and it makes scheduling a breeze
Gemini and Google Calendar have joined forces to introduce an exciting new update that will revolutionize the way you schedule your events. As technology continues to evolve, artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming a prominent feature in various applications, and Google is at the forefront of integrating AI into its services.
Following the successful launch of the new 'AI Mode' for Search, Google has announced that its powerful Gemini model will soon be available for Google Calendar users. This new feature will be part of the Workspace Labs program, allowing users to leverage AI assistance for creating events, managing schedules, and accessing event details with ease.
Enhanced Functionality with Gemini Assistant
Google's Gemini Assistant for Calendar is currently accessible on the desktop version of Google Calendar. Users will notice a Gemini icon next to the "grid" app selection tool in the top-right corner of the screen. Clicking on the icon will prompt a series of actions, such as creating meetings, checking upcoming events, and even adding commuting time to your schedule.
The AI assistant also allows users to input customized prompts, although conversation history is reset when the app is closed and reopened, the browser is refreshed, or the computer loses internet connection.
Providing Valuable Feedback
Users have the opportunity to provide feedback on the prompts generated by Gemini, helping to enhance the overall user experience and utility of the AI assistant. The goal is to streamline the process of managing meetings and events, eliminating the need for manual scanning through schedules.
With Gemini Assistant, users can inquire about their upcoming meetings, the timing of their next event, or the duration of a specific meeting. The AI can even differentiate between different types of events, such as medical appointments, providing personalized assistance.
