Gemini AI Integration in Google Calendar: Features and Early Access

Google introduces Gemini AI to Calendar, simplifying event management through natural language prompts. Early access available via Google Workspace Labs.

Google’s Calendar is getting a smart upgrade with Gemini AI, and honestly, it’s about time scheduling got a bit more brainy. Imagine just telling your calendar what you need—like asking a friend to remind you about your dentist appointment or to pencil in a coffee date. That’s the kind of natural language magic Gemini brings to the table.

Right now, if you’re itching to try this out, you’ll need to be part of Google Workspace Labs (yes, there’s a sign-up page for that). Once you’re in and approved, the ‘Ask Gemini’ feature pops up on the web version of Google Calendar, ready to chat about your schedule like a helpful assistant who’s had one too many coffees.

From what we’ve seen, Gemini’s pretty good at the basics—setting up meetings, remembering your mom’s birthday (no excuses now). But don’t expect it to send out invites for your party or work on your phone just yet. And, because it’s AI, it might occasionally think your team meeting is at a coffee shop instead of the office. So, maybe double-check the important stuff.

If you’re all about working smarter, not harder, Gemini could be your new best friend. Not your cup of tea? No sweat—you can always bail on Workspace Labs. Even with its quirks, Gemini’s making Google Calendar feel less like a digital to-do list and more like a conversation. And that’s a win in our books.
