You can now add an event to your Google Calendar straight from Gmail
Google has announced that thanks to Gemini, you can now add an event to Google Calendar straight from an email in Gmail. This will work because Gemini will automatically detect "calendar related content" in your emails.
When it does, an "Add to calendar" button will appear. Once you click it, the side panel will bring up a confirmation. This comes on top of the ability to ask Gemini about stuff in your Google Calendar, which has been available in Gmail since November.
The new feature is currently only available in English and only in Gmail"s web interface. The "Add to calendar" button won"t appear for emails that have already automatically extracted events, like restaurant reservations or flights. A calendar event created via the new button will not include other guests.
The rollout has started today and it"s expected to take until mid-April to conclude for all accounts. Speaking of accounts, you"ll only get this if you have a Google Workspace Business or Enterprise account, a Gemini Education or Gemini Education Premium add-on, or are a subscriber to Google One AI Premium.
