A clever new Gmail feature with Google’s Gemini AI has arrived for Google Workspace customers. Starting on Monday, users can add events to Google Calendar directly from email.
Gemini automatically detects calendar-related content in email and displays the Add to Calendar button. After clicking the button, the side panel in Gmail opens and confirms that the event has been added to the calendar.
Google points out in a blog post that this feature is only available in English and the web. Calendar events created via the Add to Calendar button do not include other guests. It will also not appear in emails with already extracted events, such as restaurant or flight bookings.
Google Workspace Business and Enterprise Tiers users, Gemini Education, Gemini Education Premium, or Google One AI Premium plan customers will be eligible for the new feature. (This applies to users who previously purchased previously suppressed Gemini Business or Gemini Enterprise add-ons.) Administrators can “add to calendar” by turning on smart features and personalization from the Workspace Management Console.
“Add Calendar” is just the latest Gemini-driven tool to reach your Gmail inbox. In June 2024, Google added a new feature to Gmail on the web, where users wrote emails, summarizing email threads, asked questions, and found specific information in emails in their inbox. Some of these features arrived in the Gmail app on iOS and Android towards the end of last year.
