Spend too much time scheduling meetings? This Gemini feature could save you the hassle

"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."

"How it works If someone sends you an email requesting a one-hour catch-up, Gemini will suggest time slots that align with your schedule. Then, you can edit the suggested time slots, insert them within your email, and send them to the recipient. Once they pick a time, Gemini will automatically add the meeting to both participants' calendars."

Gemini's new scheduling tool in Gmail suggests time slots that match a user's calendar and allows those slots to be edited and inserted into email replies. Recipients can pick a suggested time, after which the meeting is added automatically to both participants' Google Calendars. The feature requires both parties to use Gmail for communication and Google Calendar for scheduling. The functionality is limited to individual one-on-one meetings and does not support group scheduling. The feature aims to reduce back-and-forth emails when interacting with contacts whose calendars are not visible.
