Gemini just got a big upgrade with new connected apps for work, creativity, and life
Confirmed
In Short: Google is rolling out new connected apps for Gemini, covering productivity, creativity, and lifestyle.
In a blog post, Google announced the next wave of connected apps for its Gemini AI assistant, expanding its capabilities.
These new apps, which include services like iHeartRadio, Zocdoc, and Ticketmaster, are designed to integrate seamlessly with Gemini.
The tools are categorized into three main areas: productivity, creativity, and lifestyle.
Users can connect these apps by navigating to Gemini's settings, using the @ mention feature, or by directly asking the chatbot.
Google also revealed that Gemini Spark, an AI agent ecosystem, now works with Google Photos.
This integration allows Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers to manage, edit, and share photos through Gemini Spark.
Gemini Spark can generate summaries, extract text from images, and create visual stories, enhancing the photo management experience.
However, the functionality is currently limited to English and available only through the Gemini mobile app in the United States.
Google plans to gradually roll out Google Photos integration for Gemini Spark over the next few weeks.
