How Gemini Calendar extension improves your schedule

Google unveiled a Calendar Gemini Extension previously this year as a new support document said that Google is “gradually releasing these features, so it might not be available to you just yet.”

The release is set to start in English and only works “with events in your default calendar.” Unlike Keep and Tasks, which first launched on the Pixel 9 series, users are not yet seeing this on mobile or desktop devices.

The Google Calendar Gemini Extension, which is one of the essential parts of the broader one for Google Workspace, will allow you to create, edit, cancel, and find events conversationally:

1. Create an event for [time] on [day, date] to [activity, task].
2. Create an event for [event description] at [time] on [day, date], and add a description saying [event details].
3. Add [event name] to my calendar on [day] at [time] and add a description saying [reminder, details].

The flagship example at I/O and Made by Google 2024 included taking an image of a “concert flyer with dates and locations,” and then appending “Check my calendar and see if I’m free for the concert in [location] this year.”

• Show me the email that [sender name] sent about [event, activity].

After Gemini’s response: Add the event to my calendar.

• Create an itinerary for a 1-day trip in San Francisco with times.

After Gemini’s response: Add them to my calendar.

• Add these to my calendar.

If you want to replace a detail after you just created an event, Gemini accepts: “The event is actually on [new day]. Can you change that?” You cannot edit location, description, and other event details. Other conversational adjustments include:

1. Reschedule [event name, event description] on [day] to [new day] [new time].
2. On my calendar, can you change the name of [event name] to [new event name]?
3. When’s my last meeting today with [name]?

• After Gemini’s response: Change it to [new time].

1. Finally, you can cancel events using Gemini:

• Cancel my next meeting with [name].
• [Event name, event description] on [day] was cancelled.

In terms of search, there’s the ability to find events based on specific details:

1. When was the last time I met with [name]?
2. When is my next meeting with [name]?
3. When is my meeting about [meeting description]?
4. Where is [event] tonight?

If you know the day or have a date range:

1. What’s on my calendar today?
2. When’s my first meeting tomorrow?
3. How many meetings do I have today?
4. What am I doing this weekend?
