Google Gemini is making its way into Google Calendar, giving Workspace users a new way to manage their schedules through natural language queries. The feature, currently in early testing through Google Workspace Labs, offers a side panel where users can interact with Gemini to check their schedules, create events, and find meeting details—without manually sifting through their calendar.
Key Points:
- Users can ask Gemini to check schedules, create events, or find specific meetings.
- The feature is in early access via Google Workspace Labs, with no official rollout date.
- Gemini AI is already integrated with Gmail, Docs, Sheets, and other Workspace apps.
The integration follows Google’s broader push to bring AI into its productivity suite. Gemini is already embedded in Gmail, Docs, Sheets, and other Workspace apps, helping users summarize emails, generate content, and organize data. With Calendar, Gemini aims to make scheduling more efficient by allowing users to type or select prompts like “Find my next meeting with Sarah” or “Add a recurring workout session.”
To access Gemini in Calendar, users can click the “Ask Gemini” button in the top-right corner of the web interface. From there, they can either choose from suggested prompts or type their own. The AI assistant can quickly pull up schedules, add events with details, and streamline calendar management. However, Google notes that conversation history with Gemini in Calendar isn’t saved, meaning users may lose previous queries when refreshing the page or going offline.
The feature is still in early testing, with no confirmed release date for a broader rollout. As Google continues to expand Gemini’s presence across Workspace, it’s clear that AI-driven productivity tools are becoming a core part of the company’s strategy.
