Following its announcement at Google I/O in May, Gemini Live is finally starting to widely launch its integration with Google apps, including Keep, Tasks, and Calendar. Once it starts rolling out, you should be able to create lists, tasks, or events, and inquire if you have any reminders or events.

For our device, so far, only Google Calendar is accessible via Gemini Live, allowing Gemini Live to create and check Calendar events for us. It can't launch the app for us either. Instead, it does the task in the backend, which you can later check when you open the app itself.
