AI assistants are most valuable when they can access and interact with the other tools and services you use every day. Google’s Gemini is expanding those capabilities by adding integrations with more than a dozen new connected apps. The additions include well-known names across productivity, local services, entertainment, music, and home services, enabling Gemini to fetch information, make bookings, and coordinate tasks across a wider ecosystem of apps.
In a short blog announcement, Google confirmed that a “new slate” of connected apps will become available in Gemini over the coming weeks. These integrations are intended to streamline common user workflows — from finding local experiences to scheduling medical appointments or booking tickets — by allowing Gemini to surface relevant options and act on your behalf where the app’s APIs permit.
The incoming apps are grouped broadly by category: productivity tools, entertainment and local discovery, music streaming, and on-demand services. The newly added partners include:
- Granola (productivity and finance management)
- Otter.ai (meeting transcription and notes)
- Wix (website creation and management)
- Fever (local events and experiences)
- GetYourGuide (tours and activities booking)
- Localiza (car rental services)
- OpenTable (UK — restaurant reservations)
- Ticketmaster (event tickets)
- iHeartRadio (streaming radio and podcasts)
- Pandora (music streaming)
- Angi (home services and pros)
- Thumbtack (local professionals and contractors)
- Zocdoc (doctor and appointment booking)
These additions expand an already sizeable roster of connected services that Gemini supports. Existing integrations include productivity and creative tools, developer platforms, shopping and delivery services, communication apps, and smart home controls. With these new partners, Gemini can provide more context-aware recommendations, check availability, initiate reservations, compare options, and help you manage follow-up tasks without switching apps.

As Gemini expands connected-app support, the assistant becomes more useful for planning and executing multi-step tasks. For example, integrating with event platforms and ticketing services lets Gemini search for shows, compare dates and prices, and direct you to secure checkout or even populate forms. Restaurant and local discovery integrations mean Gemini can check availability, suggest times, and place reservations. Medical and home-service integrations let it surface available providers, compare ratings, and initiate appointment or service requests.
For business and productivity users, tools like Otter.ai and Wix bring practical benefits: Otter.ai’s transcription and note-taking integration helps Gemini summarize meetings and extract action items, while Wix connectivity can streamline website updates or content changes when prompted. Music and audio partnerships with iHeartRadio and Pandora mean the assistant can create tailored listening suggestions, queue tracks, or help you discover podcasts and stations that match your interests.
Google has emphasized that these connected apps will roll out gradually, so availability may vary by region and by account settings. Some integrations may offer full in-app actions, such as booking or ordering, while others may initially provide search and discovery capabilities. Users should check their Gemini settings and the connected apps list to see which features are enabled for their account.
The broader trend is clear: AI assistants that can safely access and act across third-party services deliver more actionable, time-saving experiences. By partnering with diverse platforms — from ticketing and dining to home services and healthcare scheduling — Gemini aims to reduce the friction of switching between apps and empower users to get things done faster. As these integrations arrive, expect Gemini to become more proactive in surfacing options, confirming availability, and helping you manage bookings and follow-ups.
