Make sure that your Google Calendar is synced.

Add a calendar event:
- “Add a meeting to my calendar.”

- “Add an event called Birthday Dinner.”
Find out what’s on your calendar:
- “When’s my first meeting today?”
- “Where’s my next event?”
- "What’s my agenda for 1 August?"

Cancel an event

On your phone or tablet, you can ask your Google Assistant to cancel an event, like a meeting.

Important: This feature is only available in the US and English.

To cancel an event, say:

"Cancel my next meeting."
"Cancel my meeting with Andrew today."
"Cancel my 4.00 p.m. meeting."

Add a shared calendar

Important: In some languages, you can use your Assistant to add events to a shared calendar instead of your main calendar. Under "Default calendar to create events", select the one that you want.

Your Google Assistant uses your main Google Calendar by default. To have your Assistant tell you about events on a shared calendar:

On your Pixel phone, open the Settings app .
Tap Calendar.
To hear events for a shared calendar, tick the box next to it.

Tip: After you complete these steps, your Assistant tells you about events on the shared calendar and your main calendar.

- "Hey Google, show me events near me".
