G Suite Users Get New Google Assistant Functions for Email and Calendar Events

G Suite account users, so long as their admins are nice people, can now have beta access to additional Google Assistant functionality for Google Calendar and Gmail functions.

Once opted into by an admin, which is required because you’re opening up what could be sensitive data to Assistant, you’ll be able to create new calendar events, send emails, dial into meetings, plus a whole lot more.

The Google Assistant will respond to voice commands for certain Google Calendar and Gmail functions and:

  • Let you know when your next meeting is
  • Create, cancel or reschedule a Calendar event
  • Send a note to event attendees via email
  • Send an email
  • Dial into a meeting

End users won’t need to do anything to get this started, but admins, you’ll need to fill out this form to get the ball rolling.

Tim

Stumbling upon Droid Life randomly after purchasing a Motorola DROID in late 2009, then setting out to learn everything he could about Android, Tim quickly became an integral part of the site's comment section. After quite some time of strictly commenting on Droid Life, Tim was offered an opportunity to write feature stories for the site, such as custom ROM overviews, as well as interviews with Android community members. Following success of those, Tim became a full time writer and editor for Droid Life, now spending his time on news articles, device reviews, producing videos, and much more. Tim currently resides in Portland, OR with his longtime girlfriend and two wonderful dog children (Loki & Thor). In his spare time, Tim enjoys playing guitar, drinking coffee, practicing photography, and destroying kids on Call of Duty.
