Google gets “Add to calendar”

15-Mar-2025 · Peter Atwood


Google recently announced an “Add to calendar” button that uses its Gemini AI to interpret your email and create a calendar event. See Google’s new AI button in Gmail automatically adds events to Google Calendar.

When I read about this, it prompted me to finish an FAQ for Schedule Us that I had begun.

It’s not a competition

AI is bringing us amazing new tools and capabilities, and I’m eager about every new advance. That is, in part, what led me to build Schedule Us. But another reason is that I have my own take on how AI can best fit into our tools and workflows.

This FAQ explains some of my thinking, and it might help you see where Schedule Us fits into your work. In short, there’s a benefit to Schedule Us working outside platforms like Google and Microsoft.

I encourage you to read it.

Share the word

Schedule Us is fully functional, even without a user account. Please use it, and share it with anyone you think could benefit.
