Google Launches Preview of Connected Apps Platform for Search and Gemini
Summary
Google launched a preview of its Connected Apps Platform, a single console where developers build once for both Search and the Gemini app. Developers integrate through a cloud-hosted MCP server or Android MCP and register in the Google Connected Console. Google said partner apps from Adobe, Experian, Localiza and Peloton are live in Gemini.
Key Points
- Google says developers connect through AppFunctions APIs to reach Search, the Gemini app, or both.
- Group product managers Chips Mistry and Mai Lowe say access opens in phases, adding more developers, markets and Google products over coming months.
- Google says the Adobe, Experian, Localiza and Peloton integrations arrive in Search in the coming weeks.
