Nothing updates Essential Space with Google Calendar integration, improved recorder

Nothing has just announced new updates to Essential Space, its AI-powered hub, which includes support for Google Calendar as well as updates to the new “Flip to Record” feature on Phone (3).

In an update shared on the newly-used @Essential Twitter/X account as well as on its community forum, Nothing has revealed the biggest update to Essential Space thus far. The feature, which first debuted on Phone (3a) and Phone (3a) Pro, is getting three key updates.

Firstly, Essential Space now integrates with Google Calendar. When the AI-powered app generates to-do lists or events, they’ll now sync over to Google Calendar. The app lets you pick and choose which accounts are integrated as well.

Beyond that, you can now edit what the AI creates. So if the AI creates an event at the wrong time, or mishears something you said, you can go in and manually edit it.

Then, there are some updates to recordings.

“Essential Recorder” is now live with the ability to record meetings or conversations and get an AI summary later on. This feature supports manual edits as well as sharing, and you can even enable a “Flip-to-Record” feature to have the device start recording when you place it on a surface face down.

These updates are live now on Nothing Phone (3), and will come to Phone (3a) and Phone (3a) Pro “soon.” On Phone (3), you’ll want to install the latest update which rolled out earlier this week.
