What was announced
Google announced a rollout of additional Connected Apps for Gemini on 23 September. The announcement includes productivity services such as Airtable, Linear and monday.com, alongside creative tools. Google describes connecting apps through Gemini's settings or by mentioning an app in a conversation.
What it could mean for business
Our view is that connections become valuable when they remove a specific handoff. A longer integration list does not, by itself, show that a workflow is complete or that every action is supported.
A useful next step
Pick one tool your team already relies on. Check its current availability, permissions and supported actions, then test one routine handoff from start to finish.
