A nifty new Gmail capability powered by Googles Gemini AI has arrived for Google Workspace customers. Starting Monday, users can add events to a Google Calendar directly from an email.Gemini will automatically detect calendar-related content in an email and present an Add to calendar button. After clicking the button, the side panel in Gmail will open to confirm the event has been added to the calendar.Google notes in a blog post that the feature is only available in English and on the web for now. A calendar event created via the Add to calendar button wont include other guests, and it also wont appear for emails with already-extract events, like restaurant and flight reservations.

(Users who previously purchased the now-deprecated Gemini Business or Gemini Enterprise add-ons are also eligible.) Admins can enable Add to calendar by switching on smart features and personalization from the Workspace Admin console. Add to calendar is only the latest Gemini-powered tool to reach Gmail inboxes. In June 2024, Google added new capabilities toGmail on the web to help users write emails and summarize email threads, plus ask questions and find specific information from emails within an inbox. Some of those capabilities came to the Gmail apps for iOS and Android toward the end of last year.
