Overview
- Google began rolling out the Connected Apps expansion on September 23, 2026, adding partners across productivity, creativity and lifestyle categories including Adobe, Squarespace, Peloton, Airtable and monday.com.
- Users must link supported third-party services in Gemini settings and can call them into a chat with an @mention or by naming the app in a natural-language prompt.
- Google framed the move as an ecosystem and platform expansion rather than a single new feature and warned that available actions will depend on what each partner exposes through its integration.
- Concrete examples include planning Peloton workouts inside Gemini chats and starting asset or website workflows with Adobe, Squarespace or Webflow, though Google did not list every supported command.
- Because enablement is per account and Google gave no pricing or universal availability schedule, businesses are advised to pilot a small set of repeatable workflows to judge value and limits before broader deployment.
