Gmail Is Getting a New “Add to Calendar” Button
Google is trying to add Gemini AI to all of its products. We’ve even seen a Gemini button in Gmail ( which can be disabled if desired ). Now the company is starting to flesh out this email integration more, using AI to automatically add events to your Google Calendar if the email contains enough detail.
This feature is already rolling out, so Gemini Advanced subscribers and Google Workspace for Business users can expect to see a new Gemini-powered Add to Calendar button when needed. It will be next to the “Report this email” button above the body of the email.
As an example, let’s say you have an email discussing an upcoming meeting with your boss. Click the Add to Calendar button and Google will automatically scan and analyze the relevant data and create a Google Calendar event for you. Luckily, Google doesn’t make this process completely offline—once created, the event will appear in the sidebar, so you can check it for errors before adding it to your calendar (given that LLMs sometimes tend to hallucinate , this is a good idea).
You can use the Edit button to make any changes to the proposed event or add additional information. The only thing Gemini can’t do yet is invite others to a meeting, so you’ll need a trip to the Calendar app for that. This feature is also only available in English for now.
According to Google, the global rollout of the Add to Calendar button could take up to two weeks. This feature is only available in English and only works online for now. And while it’s only available to paid subscribers, it’s available to all business plan users, including the cheaper Business Starter plan.
