Gemini Calendar Hacks show why Google can win with AI

This month I finally downloaded it Google's Gemini Apps to my iPhone. A lot of people did this because Gemini did that. Top Free Apps Apple's App Store charts take about a week.

I was mainly bold for the “”Nano Banana“The image generation feature. I played it using this. Previous AI Playground Edition.

Since then I have started using the Gemini app, and although it seems simple at first glance, I've been updating my Google Calendar.

If you reach Agi Or, immediately, super intelligence, the machine needs to sort out the confusion, which is a digital calendar. My initial efforts with Gemini were full of hope. Here's how it went down:

I'm in the Bocce League, where I play on Thursday nights in San Carlos. My great friend Dave is building our team. He recently sent out the dates for a new season of games.

Usually, Dave invites us all by choreographing every match in the calendar and entering an email address for each event. He recently got a job in flashy new technology so he doesn't have time for this. Instead, he sent us a web link telling us “just subscribe to the URL for the Bocce calendar.” He then went into a rather detailed explanation. “For all the boomer @yahoo addresses in this thread may be everyone who was given the @yahoo address for not being tech-savvy among you.”

I have a Yahoo Mail and a Gmail account for my record. But I didn't want to be bothered by all this technical thing. So I clicked on the Dave link and took a screenshot of the Bocce calendar on my iPhone. I then opened the Gemini app, uploaded the screenshot, and told Gemini to “add these events to Google Calendar.”

The AI ​​app “thinks” for a few seconds, just linked to the calendar and added all the events. It took about 25 seconds. This seemed too good, so I manually checked the times, dates and locations of some Bocce matches. They were all accurate.

It was a truly magical moment. something Should It's finally simple to be simple.

This is something uniquely positioned by Google. This is because you already own a popular calendar app. Who do you think is not providing the calendar? Openai.
