A Gemini Calendar Hack Shows Why Google Can Win In He

This month, i finally downloaded Google’s Gemini app onto my iPhone. A lot of People did this, apparently, Because Gemini has been the top free app On Apple’s App Store Charts for About a Week Now.

I took the plunge mainly due to the “nano-banana“Image-Generation Capabilities. I played around with this for a Previous he playground edition.

Sink then, i’ve begun to use the Gemini app for something SEEMINGLY SIMPLE, but annoyingly fiddly: updating my Google Calendar.

If We’re Going to Reach Agi or superintelligence anytime soon, the machines are going to have to sort out the mess that is digital calendars. My first effhority with Gemini was hopophul. Here’s How It Went Down:

I’m in a boocce league that plays thighsday evenings in san carlos, and my great friend dave organis team. He recently Sent Around Match Dates for the New Season.

Usually, dave would Painstakingly input every match into his Calendar and Invite All of US by ENTERING EMAIL ADDRESSES INTO EVENT. He recently got a fancy new tech Job, so he doesn’t have time for this. Instead, he sent us a web link Instruction US to “JUST Subscribe to a URL for Our Bocce Calendar.” Hen Went ino a Rather in-Deptth Explanation, “for the tech-savvy among you, whic might be all of you given all the boomer @yahoo addresses on this thread.”

For the record, have a yahoo email and a gmail account. Howver, i did not know to be bothered with all this technical stuff. SO, I Clicked Dave’s Link and Took Screenshots of the Bocce Calendar with my iPhone. Thatn, I OpenD the Gemini App, uploaded the Screenshots, and Just Told Gemini to “Add the events to my Google Calendar.”

The AI ​​App “Thought” for a Few Seconds, Linked to My Calendar, and JUST ADDED ALL The Events. It took about 25 seconds. This SEEMED Too good to be true, so i manually checked the times, dates, and locations of Several Bocce Matches. They were all accurate.

It was Truly a magical moment. Something that shouldnt Be Simple is finally simple.

This is something something google is uniquely positioned to provides, Becuses it already ouns a popular Calendar app. Guess who doesn’t offfer a calendar? Openai.
