The way it’s progressing, Google will soon know when your meeting is before you do. Back in October, it introduced the Help me schedule feature, which helped you suggest sensible meeting times based on your availability and the context of an email. That was useful, but it still left you to find out if the time worked for the other party. This latest update takes a bigger step by figuring out when everyone is actually free.

According to a new Google Workspace update, Google is rolling out smarter suggested meeting times directly inside Google Calendar. When you’re creating an event, you’ll see a Suggested times option that uses Gemini to scan attendee availability, working hours, and existing conflicts, then surface the time slots that make the most sense for the whole group — assuming you have access to those calendars. Unlike October’s email-centric approach, this version skips Gmail entirely and works straight from Calendar.
