Google adding more Connected Apps to Gemini & Search with new dev platform - 9to5Google
Google has launched a new Connected Apps Platform, allowing developers to integrate their services directly into Gemini and Search. This move aims to create a unified ecosystem where third-party apps can reach high-intent users through standardized APIs.
Why it matters
This expansion strengthens Google's AI-driven search and assistant capabilities, making Gemini a more central hub for third-party digital services.
Google today announced the Connected Apps Platform as a “unified way for more app developers to bring their capabilities directly into Gemini and Search.”
Existing third-party Connected Apps let you access Adobe, Dropbox, Instacart, OpenTable, Ticketmaster, and other services — now numbering over 50 — from the Gemini app. Google also announced a new Calm integration that will be available in the coming weeks. These @-integrations join first-party offerings like Google Workspace, Photos, and YouTube. To date, the creation process has required working closely with Google.
