Google is testing a new AI-powered Gemini side panel in Google Calendar, allowing users to quickly and conversationally check their schedules, create events, and search for event details. This feature is available as part of Google Workspace Labs, Tech Giant’s Early Access Testing program.
You can access Gemini by clicking the “Gemini Ask Gemini” icon in the top right corner of the Google Calendar window. You can then select the suggested prompt or create your own.
For example, Gemini might suggest “add a lunch event” or “find the next meeting” with someone.
If you need more suggestions, you can select the “Other Suggestions” option.
You can also write your own prompts, such as “When will your next meeting with Emily be?” “How many meetings do you have on Monday?” or “I’ll add weekly training at 6am every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.”
The idea behind this feature is to remove the need to manually search or add to your calendar by leveraging Gemini’s conversational abilities to get things done faster.
Google Calendar is the latest workspace app to get Gemini side panels as it is already available in Gmail, Google Drive, Docs, Sheet, Slide and Chat. It is unknown that the panel will be deployed to more users.
