Summarize shared files with Gemini in Google Chat, now available on mobile

What’s happening 

Earlier this year, we introduced the capability for Google Chat users to easily see summaries of shared Google Docs, Slides, or Sheets files, along with other file types (like PDF, Office, and CSV), directly within your desktop Chat conversations. Today, we’re excited to expand this feature to Google Chat mobile. 

Simply tap the “Summarize” button on the file preview card in your conversation. Gemini will summarize the file so you can get a quick overview without having to leave Chat.

Use Help me schedule to easily set up a meeting time over email

What’s changing 

Finding time to meet — especially with external clients and customers — is hard, often requiring many back-and-forth emails. The new Gemini-powered Help me schedule feature in Gmail makes it easier for you to coordinate time with others. 

Gmail with Gemini will detect when you’re trying to coordinate a time within an email and will surface a Help me schedule button in the toolbar. After you click on the Help me schedule button, Gemini will automatically suggest ideal slots based on your Google Calendar and the email's context. For example, if someone asks for a 30 minute meeting next week, Gemini will recommend time slots that fit your availability. 

You can customize the times that Gemini suggests by removing or adding additional options, and then insert them directly into your Gmail message. Once the recipient receives the email and selects a time that works for them, a Calendar invite will automatically be added to both individual’s calendars. At launch, this feature will only support scheduling between two individuals, not groups.

Google Keep reminders now saved to Tasks

What’s changing 

As announced last year, Keep reminders will be automatically saved to Tasks. This means that now users can view their Keep reminders as tasks in Calendar, in the Tasks app, and even ask the Gemini app about them (via the Tasks extension). As part of this launch, any existing date/time based Keep reminders will automatically be saved to Google Tasks. 

This new capability will make Google Tasks the single solution for managing your to-dos across Workspace. So whether you’re saving something from Keep, Gmail, Calendar, Chat, Docs, or Gemini, Google Tasks will make sure it’s up to date and accessible across the Workspace products you use.
