Google has announced that Gemini, its AI model, can now find the "best times to meet" in Google Calendar. This web-only-for-now feature is rolling out for Google Workspace subscribers on the Business Standard and Plus, Enterprise Standard and Plus, and the Google AI Pro for Education add-on.
The update is available now for those on Rapid Release domains, while accounts on Scheduled Release domains will see a gradual rollout starting on February 2.
Here"s how it works: when you create an event on your computer and add guests, a "Suggested times" dropdown should appear. Clicking this lets Gemini analyze everyone"s calendar availability, working hours, and potential conflicts to find a slot that actually works. You can then pick one of the generated suggestions or click for more options if the first batch does not suit your needs.
Google says that if you are the event organizer and multiple guests decline your invitation, a banner might pop up inside the event, presenting an alternative time when everyone is available. This saves you from the sometimes tedious back and forth that usually comes with finding a new meeting time.
The company also notes that on some occasions, the "Suggested times" feature might fail to appear. You will also not receive any AI-powered suggestions for events that are longer than eight hours, for meetings with a very large number of attendees, or if you are looking at dates in the past.
Google has been on a roll lately with the integration of Gemini into its services, including other Workspace products. Just this month alone, we have seen the company announce plans at CES 2026 to bring its AI to the big screen through Google TV.
Google also launched a new beta feature called "Gemini Personal Intelligence" that lets you connect Gemini to your personal Google apps like Photos and Drive, allowing you to ask it questions about your own data, like finding a specific detail from an old email.
