Summary
Google has launched a new feature for Gmail that uses AI to automatically add events to a user’s Google Calendar.
Based on emailed details, the Gemini AI bot will identify emails that it thinks describe events and will add an “Add to Calendar” button to the email.
When users click on this, a prompt sidebar will open to confirm the event and provide an edit option.
The tool is rolling out now for Google Workspace for business, enterprise, and education users, along with Google One AI Premium subscribers.
It successfully identified two separate events in a test email, but instead of simply adding the event, it confirmed the details and asked if the user wanted to add it to their calendar.
