Gmail’s Gemini side panels adds Google Calendar integration

The Gemini side panel on the Gmail website now works with Google Calendar after initially integrating Drive, Docs, Sheets, and Slides. 

Gemini in Gmail can now answer questions about your calendars and create events in a conversational manner. Examples prompts include:

• When is my [first event] next week? 
• Create a [30 min] calendar event for my weekly [yoga class] every [Monday and Wednesday] at [9 AM]. 
• Create a [1h] event for [lunch] [tomorrow] at [noon]. 

You don’t have to add @Calendar to requests, but you can to explicitly invoke the service. This Google Calendar integration for Gemini in Gmail is rolling out over the coming weeks for paid tiers:

• Gemini Business 
• Gemini Enterprise 
• Gemini Education 
• Gemini Education Premium 
• Google One AI Premium 

Meanwhile, these are the current set of limitations, but that might change in the future:

• Add or remove guests from events or create events by extracting information from an email. 
• Pull up attachments or RSVPs related to a meeting. 
• Find the best time to meet with other people or find time slots when you’re available to meet. 
• Create tasks, an out of office, focus times or set working locations. 
• Add or manage meeting rooms.
