Google Tests Gemini AI Integration in Calendar for Streamlined Scheduling

The AI-powered Gemini side panel is now available in Google Workspace Labs, enabling conversational scheduling and event management in Google Calendar.

• Google has introduced Gemini AI integration in Google Calendar, allowing users to manage schedules and events using conversational prompts.
• The feature is currently in beta testing through Google Workspace Labs and is accessible via a new 'Ask Gemini' icon in the Calendar interface.
• Users can ask Gemini to check schedules, create events, or retrieve event details, such as 'When is my next meeting with Chris?' or 'Add lunch at 11 a.m. Tuesday.'
• The Gemini side panel is already available in other Workspace apps like Gmail, Docs, and Sheets, and this marks its expansion to Calendar.
• The feature is currently limited to the desktop version of Google Calendar, with no mobile app support yet, and users must enroll in Workspace Labs to access it.
