AI-summarised brief · reviewed before publication

Google has begun rolling out a major expansion of its Gemini AI assistant, adding direct integration with a range of third‑party applications and services. The update moves beyond the limited Model Context Protocol support that previously confined Gemini to developer tools, command‑line interfaces and enterprise platforms. Starting today, users can link Gemini to popular productivity apps such as Air, as well as other unnamed services, allowing the assistant to retrieve data, schedule tasks and generate content without leaving the host app. The rollout follows months of incremental testing and reflects Google’s effort to make Gemini a more practical, everyday tool for both consumers and businesses. The integration is being delivered through automatic updates to the Gemini app on Android and iOS devices.
