Google is rolling out a new Gemini feature for Google Calendar that suggests optimal meeting times based on attendees' availability. When creating an event, users can select "Suggested times" and Gemini will scan calendar data to propose slots that work for most participants. If invitees decline, the tool can quickly recommend an alternative time. The feature is currently limited to paid Google Workspace Business and Enterprise plans, as well as Google AI Pro for Education users, and is being released to Rapid Release domains before expanding to Scheduled Release domains.
