Google's AI Mode was expanded to global markets last year, and this search experience uses Gemini 3's next-generation intelligence to create AI-based responses. Now, Google has updated the AI Mode with support for third-party connected apps. With the latest update, users can link and interact with some of their go-to apps right in AI Mode. It is designed to assist with daily tasks like planning a party, getting groceries, and creating playlists. At launch, the feature will be available for users in the US and will support three apps.

Google AI Mode Updated With Third-Party App Integrations

Through a blog post on Thursday, Google announced that users can now link and interact with some of thier go-to services right in AI Mode. Google has integrated with Canva, Instacart, and YouTube Music to streamline the search experience.

Google says users planning a barbecue party can ask AI Mode to create a grocery list and, after linking their Instacart account, add the items directly to their shopping cart and check out with a few taps on the Instacart app or website. Similarly, the connected apps in AI Mode will show Canva template options based on a user's design requirements. Music lovers can use AI Mode to generate a playlist and save it to YouTube Music.

Google AI Mode's integration with third-party apps is now rolling out in the US. The company confirmed that it is working with a range of partners to add support for more apps soon. With the latest update, Google appears to be strengthening its position against rivals like ChatGPT, which already offers app integration.
