Google Launches 'Connected Apps' Platform for Gemini and Search Integrations
Google has announced a new "Connected Apps" platform designed to allow third-party developers to integrate their applications directly into Google Search and the Gemini AI ecosystem. This initiative follows successful early integrations from partners like OpenTable and Instacart, aiming to expand the utility of Google's AI tools through external software connectivity. The rollout begins with a public beta waitlist available to developers in the United States. The platform will provide developers with essential performance tracking capabilities, including metrics for user traffic and system latency, as Google seeks to build a more robust ecosystem around its generative AI products.
