Google opens the Connected Apps Platform beta for integrating apps with Gemini and Google Search

independently confirmed

Google has introduced Connected Apps Platform for integrating apps with Gemini and Google Search. The beta is for developers in the USA through a waitlist; access is being rolled out gradually.

Google is launching Connected Apps Platform, which allows developers to prepare and submit app integrations for Gemini and Google Search. The platform is in beta for developers in the USA, who can join a waitlist. Access is being rolled out gradually.

According to Google, the integration uses a cloud MCP server or Android MCP through AppFunctions APIs. Google Connected Console is used to register, test, and submit an app for approval. Before review, developers choose whether they want to publish the app in Gemini, Google Search, or both.

After publication, developers can monitor traffic, latency, and error rates and manage brand identity, including verified logos and accounts. Google plans to add more developers, markets, and products in the coming months but has not announced a specific date for broader availability.

What changed

Why it matters
