Google launches unified app integration system for Gemini and Search
Google has announced Connected Apps Platform, a system that makes it easier for apps to work within Gemini and Google Search. Developers can use the system to connect their services to both products with a single integration. Previously, they had to build separate integrations for the 2 platforms. Now, they can build the system just 1 time and choose whether the app will work in Gemini, Google Search, or both.
The number of apps connected to Gemini has already exceeded 50. The list includes third-party services such as Adobe, Experian, Localiza, Peloton, Dropbox, Instacart, OpenTable, and Ticketmaster. Google Workspace, Google Photos, YouTube Music, and Google Home are also part of the system. These apps will become available within Google Search in the coming weeks. Calm will be added to both Google Search and Gemini. When a user grants permission, apps securely connect to the user’s account and carry out the requested actions. For example, users can create a flyer in Canva, make a playlist in YouTube Music, or order groceries from Instacart. Currently, fewer apps are connected to Google Search. These include Canva, YouTube Music, and Yahoo Fantasy Football. The features available in each app will depend on that service’s capabilities. To connect, a developer needs either a cloud-based MCP server or Android MCP using AppFunctions interfaces. MCP is a standard used to transfer data between an app and artificial intelligence. The app is then registered in Google Connected Console, tested, and submitted for review. Developers will be able to monitor user flows, latency, and errors, as well as manage approved logos and accounts. Connected Apps Platform is currently in public preview for US developers, and access requires joining a waitlist. Google plans to gradually make the system available to more users over the coming months. An exact launch date for other countries has not yet been announced. Following the latest design update, a new Customize page has also been created in the Gemini app.
