Gemini Now Connects to 14 More Apps. Ten of Them Only Work in the U.S.
Gemini added Adobe, Peloton, Experian, SeatGeek and 10 other connected apps. Here's what each does and which ones Americans actually get.

For once, being in the U.S. is the advantage. Google’s latest batch of Gemini Connected Apps adds 14 third-party services to the assistant, and 10 of them are available only to American users. If you’ve ever felt like the best Gemini features land somewhere else first, this round goes the other way.
Google announced the expansion on September 23 in a post from Mai Lowe, a group product manager on the Gemini app. The pitch is the usual one for AI assistants, but the list of partners is more practical than most: “Instead of switching between tabs, you can now manage projects, design creative assets, and plan your workouts all in one place.”
The 14 new Gemini Connected Apps
Google sorted the new apps into productivity, creative and lifestyle groups. Availability, according to Notebookcheck’s breakdown of Google’s support pages, looks like this:
| App | What it does in Gemini | Availability |
|---|---|---|
| Adobe (Photoshop, Lightroom, Express, Firefly) | Design and creative assets | Global |
| monday.com | Project management | Global |
| Wispr AI | Voice note dictation | Global |
| Airtable | Databases | U.S. only |
| Linear | Project tracking | U.S. only |
| PandaDoc | Documents | U.S. only |
| Picsart | Image editing | U.S. only |
| Squarespace | Website building | U.S. only |
| Webflow | Web design | U.S. only |
| apartments.com | Apartment search | U.S. only |
| Experian | Credit monitoring | U.S. only |
| Peloton | Workout planning | U.S. only |
| SeatGeek | Event tickets | U.S. only |
| Zoho | Business apps | India only |
The ones worth trying on your phone
Most of the productivity list is aimed at people who already live in those tools at work. If your team runs on Linear or Airtable, being able to ask Gemini about a project without opening another app is a real time-saver. If it doesn’t, you won’t miss them.
The lifestyle apps are where Android users will notice a difference. Peloton for planning workouts, SeatGeek for finding tickets to a game or show, and apartments.com for narrowing a rental search are all things people already do on their phones, usually by bouncing between apps. Having Gemini pull that together in one conversation is exactly the kind of chore an assistant should handle.
Adobe is the biggest name on the list and the one most likely to get used outside the U.S., since it’s available globally. Picsart, the more casual photo editor, is U.S.-only.
Experian deserves a pause. Credit monitoring is useful, but it is also some of the most sensitive data you have. Connecting it is optional, and you should only do it if you’re comfortable with that information flowing through an AI chat.
The fine print
There are a few rules that apply across the board:
- You must be 18 or older, and the features work in English only.
- Adobe and Wispr AI require a personal Google account. monday.com works with personal, work or school accounts.
- Connected Apps depend on Keep Activity. If you turn it off, Connected Apps stop working on the web, iOS and smartwatches. On Android, only Device assistance, Phone, Messages and WhatsApp keep working.
- Disconnecting an app or deleting data in that app doesn’t delete anything already stored in your Gemini Apps Activity. Clear that separately if it matters to you.
How to connect an app
- Open the Gemini app on your Android phone.
- Go to Settings and open Connected Apps, then switch on the services you want.
- Or skip the settings entirely: type @ in a chat, followed by the app’s name, and Gemini will prompt you to link it.
Android Authority notes the rollout began on September 23, so if an app isn’t showing yet, give it a few days. Our take: this is the most useful Connected Apps update in a while for American Android owners. Start with one or two everyday apps, see if Gemini actually saves you taps, and leave the credit report out until you’ve decided you trust the setup.
