- More Gemini AI features are coming to Google Calendar
- Gemini will now look for available times for your calls and meetings
- Users of Google Business, Enterprise and AI Pro for Education can get it now
Trying to find the best time for a meeting may soon be a thing of the past, thanks to a new Gemini feature coming to Google Calendar.
Now, when you create a new event in Google Workspace’s calendar app, Gemini can offer “suggested times” based on the attendee’s availability.
It will provide a number of suggestions based on everyone’s work hours and potential conflicts, and then you can review and choose the best slot for everyone.
Gemini in Google Calendar
“Users have a new way to get suggested times when they create a meeting in Calendar,” noted a Google Workspace update blog announcing the launch. “Gemini in Google Calendar helps you identify the best times to meet for all participants if you have access to their calendar.”
If multiple participants decline a meeting invitation, the tool also appears to make it easier to reschedule your meeting, offering a banner with a time when everyone is available so you can quickly update the invitation.
The feature is rolling out now, but will initially only be available to Google Business, Enterprise and AI Pro for Education users.
The news comes just a few months after Gmail launched a similar ‘Help Me Schedule’ feature that also aims to help users find meeting times that work for everyone.
The feature will be available as a button in the email toolbar – when you click it, Gemini will automatically suggest available seats based on your Google Calendar along with the context of the email.
Within meetings, Gemini can generate responses based on meeting texts and other Google Workspace resources with ‘Ask Gemini in Meet’, supporting the AI tools provided by Google.
