Google's Latest Innovation: Smoothing Out Meeting Scheduling Hassles with Gemini Feature
In a bid to simplify the often-frustrating process of scheduling meetings, Google has introduced a new feature called Gemini. This innovative tool is set to revolutionize the way we coordinate our calendars, ensuring that everyone involved in a meeting is on the same page.
When creating a new meeting invitation, users can now tap into the "Suggested times" option. Here, Google's AI-powered Gemini feature takes charge, scrutinizing attendees' availability and potential conflicts. This means participants will be presented with a list of suggested time slots that cater to everyone's schedule.
However, it's essential to note that this system relies on meeting organizers having access to attendees' calendars, which might not always be the case. Moreover, Gemini is currently only available to paid users who are subscribed to Google Workspace Business (Standard and Plus) or Enterprise (Standard and Plus) plans, as well as those with the Google AI Pro for Education add-on.
The new feature will initially roll out on Rapid Release domains, with Scheduled Release domains set to follow on February 2. While this may not address all scheduling complexities, Gemini does represent a welcome step towards streamlining the meeting scheduling process, ensuring that everyone involved can plan and coordinate without unnecessary hassle.
