Rodeo can take social media posts for events or restaurants, or even just screenshots of group chats, and streamline the act of turning them into actual plans with friends. For instance, if you upload a screenshot of an Instagram ad for a movie, it will pull in theaters where it's playing, showtimes, and let you buy tickets. There is also a shortcut to send an invite to a friend you want to "wrangle" into your plans.
Gmail's "Help me schedule" feature utilizes Gemini to automatically set meeting times with people whose calendars you cannot view. According to Google, this feature should eliminate the need to send multiple emails to coordinate meeting times, especially with people who don't make their calendars visible to others. This feature only works when both participants are communicating via Gmail and using Google Calendar to schedule meetings. Additionally, this feature is limited to scheduling meetings with individual contacts, and does not work for multiple people or group 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.
