Google recently announced that it’s rolling out a major update to Google Calendar, which brings over Gemini AI features for more streamlined meeting coordination for Workspace users. Part of Google’s official update post reads:
Users now have an even faster way to choose the best time to meet with their colleagues using Google Calendar.
Whether you’re creating a new meeting or need to move an existing one, Gemini helps you identify the best times to meet by analyzing your colleagues’ availability—including time zones, working hours, and existing conflicts—to suggest the best options for everyone if you have access to their calendar.
As such, the new feature allows organizers to click a “Suggested times” button when creating an event, prompting Gemini to analyze attendee availability, working hours, and possible conflicts to recommend the most suitable time slots automatically. To further simplify scheduling, a new banner will also appear within existing events if multiple guests decline an invitation, and will give users an option to reschedule the meeting to a time when everyone is free.
The update is currently available for Rapid Release domains, and will begin a gradual rollout for Scheduled Release domains on February 2, 2026 for customers with Business Standard, Business Plus, Enterprise, and Education AI Pro subscriptions.
