Gemini has introduced an “Add to calendar” button within Gmail, now rolling out to Android and iOS, enabling users to convert email-based event details into Google Calendar entries with a single tap.
This functionality allows Gemini to autonomously scan an email, identify potential calendar events, and display a dedicated “Add to calendar” button directly within the message interface. Upon activation, a small panel appears in Gmail, confirming the successful addition of the event to the user’s Google Calendar. This integration eliminates the need for manual data entry or switching between applications, streamlining the process of scheduling. Previously, Gemini’s mobile capabilities were limited to responding to direct user commands for creating, editing, or deleting events; this update introduces an automated detection feature.
The system can identify multiple distinct events within a single email and offers the option to add all of them simultaneously. However, the feature currently operates exclusively in English. It does not appear for event types that Gmail already processes automatically, such as restaurant reservations or flight confirmations. Users are still required to manually add invitees to any calendar events created through this new function.
The deployment of this feature commenced today for both Rapid Release and Scheduled Release Workspace domains. Google anticipates that the full rollout to all eligible users may take up to 15 days. Availability extends to most Google Workspace plans, in addition to Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers.
