Manage calendar and scheduling by voice with Gemini
A writer tested Gemini on daily tasks, using voice prompts to schedule a writing block and a meeting, check conflicts and reschedule in Google Calendar; some entries needed manual confirmation.
Done withGemini
- What they did
- For a week, the writer used Gemini on their phone as a productivity assistant. After turning on Google Workspace in the Gemini app's Apps settings, they spoke prompts to schedule a 45-minute writing block and a Monday 2 p.m. meeting. They also had it check for time conflicts and reschedule meetings in Google Calendar.
- How it went
- Voice scheduling, conflict checks and rescheduling worked smoothly, and not typing made things easier. A few entries still had to be confirmed by opening Google Calendar. The writer found Gemini inconsistent overall and unreliable without a good connection.
- Worth knowing
- Turn on Google Workspace under Apps in the Gemini app first. Expect to open Calendar to confirm some entries, and expect trouble with a spotty connection.
Try it yourself with Gemini
Look at my Google Calendar for this week and schedule a [length]-hour writing block on [day/time preference] and a meeting with [person] about [topic] for [length]. Check for conflicts and propose reschedules for anything that overlaps. Before creating, moving, or sending any invites, show me the changes and wait for my OK, then give me a final summary of the week.
