Connect more of your apps to Search

Google is rolling out a new feature that allows users to securely connect and interact with third-party apps directly within Search's AI Mode, streamlining daily tasks with services like Instacart, Canva, and YouTube Music.

Connect more of your apps to Search

You can already connect some of your favorite services to the Gemini app, and now, to help you get even more done, we’re enabling you to directly connect your apps in Search.

Starting to roll out this week in the U.S., you can securely link and interact with some of your go-to services right in AI Mode. Here’s a look at how these integrations in Search can streamline your day:

Let’s say you’re planning a barbecue and using AI Mode for help with your grocery list. If you connect Instacart, you can add the ingredients straight into your Instacart shopping cart and check out with just a few taps on their app or website.

With Personal Intelligence and your connected apps, Search can give even more tailored responses.

Or, if you’re working on a project where you need some design concepts – like creating a flyer – you can ask Canva to show you some template options.

Want to build the perfect soundtrack for your next party? You can use AI Mode to curate a playlist, instantly save it to YouTube Music and press play to start the celebration.
