In today’s business world, time is the most valuable resource. However, we have all experienced that tedious email exchange trying to find a time that works for everyone: “Can you do Tuesday at 10:00?”, “No, Wednesday afternoon is better”. At G Nerd, as expert Google Workspace consultants, we know that these frictions reduce your team’s productivity.
Fortunately, Google has launched a revolutionary update powered by artificial intelligence: the “Help me schedule” feature, which integrates Gmail and Google Calendar in a way never seen before.
What is “Help me schedule”?
This new functionality allows Google Workspace users to propose meeting times directly from the Gmail compose window. It is no longer necessary to jump between tabs to check your calendar and then manually type out available options. Now, AI does the heavy lifting for you.
How does this new tool work?
The magic happens inside Gmail. When drafting an email, you will find the “Help me schedule” icon. By clicking it, the system allows you to:
-
- Select suggested times: The tool analyzes your Google Calendar and shows you free blocks that you can insert into the body of the email with a single click.
- Automatically create events: Once the recipient chooses one of the options, an event is automatically created in both calendars, including the Google Meet link.
- Smart availability management: If your schedule changes before the recipient responds, the options are updated or notifications are sent to avoid the dreaded “overbooking.”
Benefits for your company
Implementing these Google Workspace tools through a specialized consultancy like G Nerd offers clear competitive advantages:
-
- Reduction of downtime: Fewer “back and forth” emails mean faster decisions.
- Professional image: Sending clear and structured meeting proposals projects an image of modernity and technological efficiency.
- Elimination of errors: By being synced directly with Calendar, human errors in transcribing schedules are eliminated.
