During the Google I/O conference, the company spoke about the further transformation of its Gemini chatbot into a digital assistant that specializes in daily tasks. One new way to do this is Gemini's integration with Google Calendar, Tasks and Keep.
The new integrations come through extensions the company added to Bard last year and has now extended to its Gemini chatbot. To use them, just ask Gemini to do something related to one of the services it can connect to. For example, you can ask to summarize your Gmail emails for the day, or type the @ symbol into the Gemini text box to open a list of extensions such as Google Docs or Drive.
Gemini chatbot supports image uploading on the web or Google mobile app. As an example of using this feature, Google showed photographing a list of school events and then adding them to a personal Google Calendar.
Another example, demonstrating how Gemini adds ingredients from a recipe to a Google Keep shopping list. In this case, the user will have the opportunity to check the operation of Gemini before he completes the assigned task.
New integrations of Gemini with Google services will take place “soon”, but even approximate time periods have not yet been announced.
Google also announced three new Gemini features that will appear in the Gmail mobile apps on Android and iOS. In addition to the current Help Me Write feature, users will also be able to access Questions and Answers (Q&A), Smart Reply and Summarize.

Google found that these assistive features are used more often on mobile devices than on desktop computers, which makes sense given limited screen real estate and the on-the-go nature of interactions.
The mobile version of Gmail will get a “Summarize” button for long conversations. It will be available this week for Workspace Labs users, and will be available to Google One AI Premium and Gemini for Workspace subscribers in June.
The Questions and Answers feature will allow you to go beyond generalization. A new Gemini icon in the top right corner of your inbox will allow you to enter full queries. In addition to “list next steps” or “suggest an answer”, you can also ask a question:
- “Compare my latest requests for roof repairs”
- “What questions to discuss at my future book club meeting?”
- “What time does Chloe’s concert start on Saturday?
This feature will be available to Workspace Labs users in July.
Contextual Smart Replies will allow you to analyze the content of an email and offer more personalized and detailed responses than the current one-line replies. Such tips will appear in the form of a carousel and quickly summarize. For example, the options “Continue and confirm time” or “Suggest a new time” will be available with a preview of the proposed options. This feature will also be available to Workspace Labs users in July, both in mobile apps and in the browser.
