Viator and Ticketmaster are two early partners of Connected Apps.
The Connected Apps platform is currently in preview, available only to US developers, and can be applied for via the form in the official developer guide.
Mislabeling edit, delete, and payment tools as read-only may cause agents to perform irreversible operations without consent.
Connected Apps' principles on user trust include: confirmation granularity depends on risk, read-only operations are frictionless, operations such as editing, booking and deleting request explicit consent before execution; sensitive data is explicitly displayed; prompts specifically state the app and the operation; users can set whether to always allow per app and per operation.
Connected Apps are a range of external application and service extensions that Gemini can integrate with, allowing users to invoke external tools and access personal data within Gemini conversations through authorization.
This is described as a 'new wave' of Connected Apps rollout, indicating that the feature is not launching for the first time but is part of ongoing iteration.
Before enabling Connected Apps connections, users should pay attention to the authorization scope and privacy settings, and clarify which data the AI assistant can access.
Personal Intelligence consists of two parts: Memory and Connected Apps.
