Google has begun rolling out another group of connected apps for Gemini, bringing more third-party productivity and creative tools into its assistant. The useful question is whether a particular integration is available for your account and supports the task you want to do.
Which apps were announced?
In its September 23 announcement, Google named productivity services including Airtable, Linear, monday.com, PandaDoc, Wispr AI and Zoho. Creative tools include Adobe, Picsart, Squarespace and Webflow. Google also listed lifestyle integrations, including Peloton and SeatGeek.
The release describes a rollout beginning that day. It does not promise that every named app will immediately appear for every user in India, or that every function is included in a free account.
How to check what your account can use
Google’s Connected Apps help page explains that available apps vary with factors including country, device and account. On the web, sign in to Gemini and open Settings, then Connected Apps. Some users may find it under Personal Intelligence.
Open an app’s details before connecting it: Google says this page lists supported and unsupported actions and example prompts. An @ mention can specify the app in a conversation. Follow the permission prompts shown for your account.
Google also says its Keep Activity setting affects availability. With it off, Connected Apps are unavailable on the web and iOS; Android has limited exceptions. Read that setting before deciding whether to change it. Work and school accounts have separate guidance.
A useful first test
Start with a disposable project containing no customer or confidential information. Try a small, verifiable task, such as finding one item you already know exists. Compare the result with the original app before asking the assistant to change anything.
For a write action, specify the destination and scope explicitly. A request such as “prepare a draft in this test project” is easier to check than “organise everything”. Inspect the underlying app afterward; a confident chat response is not evidence that the right record changed.
When connecting an app is worth it
Our practical test is simple: does the integration remove a repeated step without making the result harder to verify? If you still need several corrections and manual checks for a tiny task, keep that workflow in the original app for now.
Connection is a permission decision, not just a convenience feature. Review the requested access and use the settings to disconnect integrations you no longer need.
