Google adds Airtable, Linear and Adobe connections to Gemini
By Automate Basics, written with AI from Google's original
Google is rolling out new Connected Apps for Gemini, including Airtable, Linear and Adobe. The additions are aimed at people who want to handle project or creative tasks without repeatedly switching apps.
What changed in Gemini
Google says Gemini is gaining Connected Apps across work, creative and personal tasks. The new productivity connections include Airtable, Linear, monday.com, PandaDoc, Wispr AI and Zoho. For creative work, Google names Adobe, Picsart, Squarespace and Webflow. The announcement also includes personal-use services such as Peloton and SeatGeek.
For someone managing a project, the practical change is the option to bring a connected tool into a Gemini conversation rather than move between tabs for every task. Google describes uses such as managing projects, organizing databases and creating visual assets. The announcement does not spell out which actions each individual app supports, so a connection should not be taken as a promise that every feature of that app works inside Gemini.
Who can use Gemini's new Connected Apps?
Google says the additional Connected Apps began rolling out on September 23, 2026. The announcement does not identify eligible Gemini plans, regions or account types. It also gives no price information, so there is no basis to say whether a particular connection requires a paid plan or has an extra charge.
People who already use one of the named services at work have the clearest reason to look for the change. An Airtable or Linear user, for example, can check whether the relevant connection is available in Gemini. Because Google describes a rollout rather than immediate availability for everyone, a missing app does not by itself establish that an account is ineligible.
How do I try a Connected App at work?
Google says users can connect an app in Gemini settings, mention it in a chat with @, or ask for it directly. Start with a modest task tied to a tool you already use, such as asking about a project in Linear or organizing information in Airtable. Google names those kinds of work as reasons for the new connections, but does not provide a detailed example of either workflow.
Check the result against the information in the original app before relying on it for a decision or sharing it with colleagues. Also consider whether the material is appropriate to bring into an AI chat under your workplace rules. The announcement does not describe data-handling terms or the precise actions available for each connection.
