"Google is launching a new tool that uses AI to make it easier for Gmail users with Google Calendar to schedule their meetings. On Tuesday, the company launched a Gemini-powered "Help me schedule" feature that will surface ideal meeting times based on calendar availability and then display them to the person you're emailing to set up a meeting. The company notes that the feature is designed to work for one-on-one meetings, not those with multiple contacts or group meetings."
"To use the meeting scheduling option, you'll click the new "Help me schedule" button that appears below your email compose screen in Gmail. This will display a series of timeslots where you have open availability. You can click an edit button to change or remove some of the options, then insert them into your email and send it to the recipient as usual. When the recipient picks a time that works for them, the calendar invite automatically appears on both people's calendars."
"While there are several meeting assistants and automated scheduling tools already on the market, like those from Calendly, Doodle, Zoom, HubSpot, and others, Google notes that its tool uses Gemini's AI to use the email's context when it makes its meeting suggestions. For instance, if someone writes in the email that they'd like to book a 30-minute time slot next, then the meeting assistant will only suggest half-hour slots before the end of next week that fit your schedule."
Google introduced a Gemini-powered "Help me schedule" feature in Gmail that surfaces ideal one-on-one meeting times based on calendar availability and email context. Users click a new button in the compose window to view suggested timeslots, edit or remove options, then insert them into an email and send. When a recipient picks a time, the calendar invite automatically appears on both calendars. Gemini interprets email instructions—such as desired duration or timeframe—to tailor suggestions. The feature arrives alongside broader Google Workspace AI updates including Nano Banana, Gemini in Slides, Gems assistants, NotebookLM formats, and video tool improvements.
