“This is not just a ‘show me when I’m free’ feature,” Google’s statement explains.
“Gemini actually considers the context of the email, so if someone requests a 30-minute meeting next week, it will suggest half-hour slots before the end of the week that fit their schedule. You can edit the suggestions, insert them directly into your email, and when the recipient chooses a time, the calendar invite automatically appears in both calendars.”
