Gemini AI App Expansion
Google Expands Gemini AI Across Apps, Devices, and Third-Party Services
Anonymous
Google is broadening Gemini’s role across services: Pixel 11 testers can ask it to call businesses, with AI disclosure, live transcripts and the option to take over, while Gemini in Chrome is gaining page and cross-tab context, Google-service integrations and Android Auto Browse capabilities. Gemini Connected Apps are adding Adobe, Squarespace, monday.com, Airtable, Linear, PandaDoc and Peloton; users can connect available services in Gemini settings and invoke them in prompts, including with @mentions. Adobe creative tools are coming to Gemini, and Acrobat tools are coming to Claude. The monday.com connector is read-only for now, surfacing board information in Gemini and supported Google Workspace apps without creating or updating board items. The updates aim to reduce app switching, but available actions vary by service, and questions remain about business-call acceptance and the scope of connected-app capabilities.
