Gemini will soon get a host of new extensions that will enable integration with various Google services. We recently shared details about a few of the upcoming extensions, and we’ve now managed to get an early look at the Keep, Tasks, and Calendar extensions ahead of the rollout.

As you can see in the following video, the Google Keep extension allows you to ask Gemini to create new notes and lists, add information to notes, and add or remove items from lists.

The Google Tasks extension, on the other hand, lets you use Gemini to create new tasks, such as reminders. It also lets you easily view existing tasks and show their due dates.

Finally, the Google Calendar extension lets you create new calendar events, view all upcoming calendar events or ones on a specific date, and edit calendar events.

Google first teased these extensions at I/O earlier this year in May, and they finally seem ready for rollout. The extensions will likely let users do more than what we’ve shown in the videos above, but we’ll have to wait until the official release to get a complete picture of the extensions’ capabilities.

Google Calendar currently automatically prepopulates holidays in your calendar, but if the APK teardown posted over at 9to5Google is correct you may now have the ability to turn off individual holidays from showing on your calendar as well as adding holiday population from other regions.

The code is not active, but it exists in the current calendar apk. The ability to hide individual holidays may be beneficial for some as a constant reminder of certain days can be traumatic, but you can already disable holiday notification so the addition of this is for people who really have a grudge against Arbor day seems to be catering to a demographic that doesn’t exist.

I highly suspect this will mostly be used mostly to remove any notifications civil rights related holidays by a small demographic, but maybe I’m wrong.

The code in the APK teardown may never go live, or it might. Stranger things have happened.

Google Calendar is a rather underrated Google app that does most things right. Since it is part of GMS, most Android phones come with it out of the box, and users generally don’t need to install an alternative calendar app. Many people add birthdays to Google Calendar to get reminded of such important dates every year without manually creating a new event for every year. Google seemingly recognizes this use case, as an upcoming Google Calendar update would make it even easier to add birthdays.

In the latest Google Calendar v2024.21.0-637471596 app update, we managed to activate a dedicated “Birthday” chip that makes it super convenient to add recurring birthday events.
