Gemini is bringing one of Gmail's handiest web features to your phone
TL;DR The Gemini 'Add to calendar' button in Gmail is now rolling out to Android and iOS.
It automatically detects event details in emails and lets you add them to Google Calendar with one tap.
The feature can handle multiple events in a single email, but only works in English for now.
If you use Gmail on the web, you might've already spotted Gemini's 'Add to calendar' button offering to save you a few clicks. Now that same Gemini trick is coming to Gmail on Android and iOS.
As Google explains in its latest Workspace Update, Gemini can now read through an email on your phone, pick out anything that looks like a calendar event, and pop up an 'Add to calendar' button right there in the message. Tap it, and a little panel opens in Gmail to confirm it's been saved to your Google Calendar. This saves you from switching apps or typing in details yourself.

It's a step up from what Gemini could already do on mobile. Since May, you've been able to ask it to create, edit, or delete events manually. This update adds some extra automation. Gemini does the spotting for you, and if there are multiple events in the same email, it'll offer to add them all in one go.
There are a few limitations at this stage. It only works in English for now, and it won't show up for stuff Gmail already handles automatically, like restaurant or flight confirmations. Also, if you want to invite others, you'll still need to add them yourself.
The rollout starts today for both Rapid Release and Scheduled Release Workspace domains, and Google says it could take up to 15 days before it reaches everyone. It's available for most Workspace plans, plus Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers.

Massive deal: The Edifier W820NB Plus headphones are too good for a mere $36.88
High-end headphones are exciting, but every time I get a pair, I feel like I am being robbed. I mean, some of the best headphones out there can cost $300-$500 or more. I simply don't feel comfortable shelling out that much on a pair of cans. I am all about value per dollar, and yesterday, our sister site partnered with Edifier to offer an exclusive coupon on the Edifier W820NB Plus headphones. Get this: you can buy them for a mere $36.88, and they are actually pretty fabulous headphones. Buy the Edifier W820NB Plus headphones for just $36.88 ($43.11 off) This offer is available from Amazon, but the maximum savings are available in two stages. First, there is currently a 'limited time deal' that brings the price down from $79.99 to $59.49. Then, you can use our coupon code 'SOUNDGUYS01' at checkout to bring the total cost down to $36.88. These Edifier W820NB Plus headphones are really good for what you are paying. We actually think they are already a fantastic deal at their full price of $79.99. Today you're saving well over 50%! Of course, our experts at SoundGuys reviewed the Edifier W820NB Plus headphones, and they had very little to complain about, really. Especially considering the price (more so today!). The sound quality is actually outstanding, scoring an impressive 4.8/5 in the MDAQS score. That actually beats many high-end devices. In fact, the Sony WH-1000XM6 headphones also got a 4.8 MDAQS score, and those are highly respected, very expensive headphones. You usually wouldn't expect many features from such affordable headphones, but the Edifier W820NB Plus headphones have ANC. It's not exactly the best, but it performs very decently when combined with very good isolation. As an added benefit, we also found these to be very comfortable, with ample padding and spacious earcups. The one issue is that your ears can get a little warm. This results from such good isolation, though, and you can only really notice it when you get moving. It's mostly body heat, so if you're sitting, lying down, or casually standing around, it won't be a problem. Also surprising is the battery life. These can last about 46 hours on a full charge. Again, this also beats most of the highest-end models. Not bad, right? Make sure to get your pair as soon as possible. This deal offers terrific value. Again, just remember to use the 'SOUNDGUYS01' at checkout to get the full discount. Also, remember that the price will increase if the limited time deal ends. On the other hand, our 38% off coupon code will stay active until August 24, 2025. If you apply it to the full price, the cost would be $49.59. Follow

How Data is Catching Pests And Revolutionizing Farming
Monarch CEO Praveen Penmetsa expects sales to triple or more this year as it gets its autonomous electric tractors in the hands of farmers, earning the Livermore, California-based company a coveted spot on our annual list of the Next Billion-Dollar Startups. But launching an agricultural equipment company is tough. It is capital-intensive, and cash-strapped farmers tend to be a conservative lot resistant to change. But Livermore-based Monarch, which has raised $116 million in equity from investors and reached a valuation of $271 million at its most recent equity funding in November 2021, seems to have hit a tipping point. Last year, it booked $22 million in revenue, up from $5 million in 2021. This year Penmetsa expects revenue to increase three- to fivefold. That would bring it above $66 million, and possibly over $100 million, as the number of its tractors in the field goes from more than 100 to 1,000. As it expands, Penmetsa expects that more of its revenue will come from software subscriptions (up to $8,376 per tractor per year) that give farmers real-time alerts about sick plants and safety risks, plus gathering and crunching a ton of data to improve crop yields.
