Every third-party app integration Google announced for Gemini at Made by Google 2026

Music

• iHeartRadio – Radio stations and streaming
• Pandora – Music streaming and playlists

Home, Health & Lifestyle

• Angi – Home service professionals
• Thumbtack – Home service professionals
• Zocdoc – Doctor's appointments (first health appointments partner)

Zocdoc is particularly notable: Google described it as part of the "Home, health, and lifestyle" category and called it the first health appointments partner for Gemini connected apps .

Rollout timing, account requirements, and geographic limits

• Rollout cadence: The apps are rolling out "over the next few weeks" starting August 12, 2026. Availability varies by location, language, device, and whether the user is on the Gemini mobile app, web app, or Gemini Spark .
• Account requirements: Connected apps generally require a personal Google Account, age 18 or older, and Keep Activity turned on. Workspace and school accounts are not eligible for many features .
• Geographic limitations: The agentic features powered by Gemini Spark are available wherever Gemini Apps are supported, with four explicit exceptions: the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, Switzerland, and Nigeria . Some individual apps like OpenTable are UK-only at launch . Subscription tiers (Pro/Ultra) also affect access in different countries .

The Granola class-action lawsuit: a red flag for a launch partner

Just 12 days before the event — on July 30, 2026 — a proposed class action was filed against Granola in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California: Chamberlain v. Granola, Inc. & Granola Labs Ltd., Case No. 3:26-cv-07926-EMC . It remains unresolved.

Key allegations from the 38-page complaint :

• Granola's AI notetaker secretly intercepts and records every participant's speech in virtual meetings without their knowledge or consent.
• The app markets itself as "bot-free" — meaning no visible bot joins the meeting — which the complaint reframes as a wiretap risk rather than a feature.
• Granola uses captured conversations to train its AI models by default, a setting only the account holder can disable.
• The complaint brings seven claims including violations of the federal Wiretap Act and California privacy laws, estimating a nationwide class of millions of people.

Google announced Granola as a Gemini connected partner roughly one day after the lawsuit became widely reported (August 1) and just 12 days after the filing itself, drawing attention to the tension between the partnership and the outstanding litigation.

Strategic significance: from chat UI to transactional concierge

These integrations arrive at a pivotal moment for Gemini. The app had 950 million monthly active users as of Alphabet's Q2 2026 earnings on July 22 , and on August 11 — the day before the event — CEO Sundar Pichai announced Gemini had crossed 1 billion monthly active users, making it the 14th Google product and the fastest-growing in company history .

Google has maintained a policy of not running ads inside the Gemini app. These integrations provide a monetization path without breaking that rule: Gemini becomes a transactional concierge that drives bookings, purchases, and service requests to partners, who pay Google via affiliate/referral economics rather than in-app display ads.

With 1 billion MAUs, the integrations transform Gemini from a chat UI into an agentic platform — users can book doctors (Zocdoc), hire contractors (Angi/Thumbtack), rent cars (Localiza), and buy tickets (Ticketmaster) without leaving the Gemini interface. This directly competes with similar agent plays from ChatGPT and positions Gemini as Google's primary conversational-commerce layer.

The Granola risk introduces a reputational and due-diligence concern: including a company currently facing a federal wiretap class action as a launch partner suggests either rapid partnership velocity or a calculated bet that the lawsuit will be resolved before it impacts user trust in Gemini's connected-app ecosystem.
