"Meetings can be a real drain on productivity, but a new Gmail feature might at least cut down on the time you spend scheduling them. The company has announced "Help Me Schedule" is coming to Gmail, leveraging Gemini AI to recognize when you want to schedule a meeting and offering possible meeting times for the email recipient to choose. The new meeting feature is reminiscent of Magic Cue on Google's latest Pixel phones."
"As you type emails, Gmail will be able to recognize when you are planning a meeting. A Help Me Schedule button will appear in the toolbar. Upon clicking, Google's AI will swing into action and find possible meeting times that match the context of your message and are available in your calendar. When you engage with Help me schedule, the AI generates an in-line meeting widget for your message."
"The recipient can select the time that works for them, and that's it-the meeting is scheduled for both parties. What about meetings with more than one invitee? Google says the feature won't support groups at launch. Google has been on a Gemini-fueled tear lately, expanding access to AI features across a range of products. The company's nano banana image model is coming to multiple products, and the Veo video model is popping up in Photos and YouTube."
Gmail will introduce Help Me Schedule, an AI-powered feature that recognizes when an email plans a meeting and presents possible times drawn from the sender's calendar. A Help Me Schedule button appears while composing; clicking generates an in-line meeting widget that lists candidate times matching message context and calendar availability. Recipients can select a preferred time to instantly schedule the meeting for both parties. The launch will not support multi-invitee group scheduling. The feature leverages Google's Gemini models as part of a broader rollout of Gemini-powered tools, which include new image and video models appearing across Google products.
