Google is testing a new AI-powered Gemini side panel<\/a> within Google Calendar that lets users quickly and conversationally check their schedule, create an event, and look up event details. The feature is available as part of the tech giant\u2019s early access testing program, Google Workspace Labs<\/a>.<\/p>\n You can access Gemini by clicking the \u201cAsk Gemini\u201d icon at the top right of your Google Calendar window. You can then select a suggested prompt or write your own. <\/p>\n For instance, Gemini may suggest that you \u201cAdd a lunch event\u201d or \u201cFind the next meeting\u201d that you have with someone. <\/p>\n If you want more suggestions, you can select the \u201cMore suggestions\u201d option.<\/p>\n You could also just write your own prompts, such as \u201cWhen is my next meeting with Emily,?\u201d \u201cHow many meetings do I have on Monday?,\u201d or \u201cAdd a weekly workout every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 6 AM.\u201d<\/p>\n The idea behind the feature is to get rid of the need to manually search or add things to your calendar by leveraging Gemini\u2019s conversational abilities to get things done faster. <\/p>\n Google Calendar is the latest Workspace app to get a Gemini side panel, as it\u2019s already available in in Gmail, Google Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides, and Chat.\u00a0It\u2019s unknown when the panel will roll out to more users. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
