Gmail adds ‘add to calendar’ button with Gemini AI
This feature automatically detects calendar-related content in emails and integrates them into the user’s calendar.
Google has introduced a new feature in Gmail, powered by its Gemini AI, allowing users to seamlessly add events to their Google Calendar.
Starting this week, Gmail users can click an ‘Add to calendar’ button when Gemini detects calendar-related content in an email, simplifying the process of scheduling events directly from emails.
Currently available in English and only for web users, the feature is part of Google Workspace’s offerings, targeting Business and Enterprise tier users, along with customers subscribed to premium Gemini plans.
Notably, it does not include the addition of other guests to the event or apply to certain pre-extracted events like restaurant or flight reservations.
This addition follows other Gemini-powered updates, such as features for email summarization and enhanced search capabilities, and aims to streamline workflow for users.
As Google continues expanding AI-powered tools within Gmail, this new feature further demonstrates the integration of advanced AI into productivity apps.
