What was announced
Google introduced the Connected Apps Platform, a new developer platform. According to the company, it offers a unified way for app developers to bring their capabilities directly into Gemini and Search.
Why it matters
Google is positioning Gemini not just as a chatbot but as a layer that talks to outside apps. Extending the same approach to Search suggests results could be enriched with app data.
Details remain limited
Google did not say which apps will be supported, when access opens or under what terms. More detail is expected through developer documentation and an early access program.
