  "account": "Google has unveiled its new Connected Apps Platform, a unified system that allows app developers to integrate their services directly into Gemini and Search. This feature now supports over 50 third-party apps, including Adobe, Dropbox, Instacart, OpenTable, and Ticketmaster. The platform also introduces a new Calm integration, set to launch in the coming weeks. These \"@-integrations\" complement first-party offerings such as Google Workspace, Photos, and YouTube.\n\nThe creation process has been streamlined, requiring developers to work with a cloud-hosted MCP server or Android MCP using the AppFunctions APIs. Once registered, tested, and submitted via the new Google Connected Console, developers can monitor traffic, latency, error rates, and control brand identity through the platform's dashboard. Developers can choose to make their app available in the Gemini app, Search, or both.\n\nThe Connect Apps Platform is set to roll out in phases over the coming months. Developers can sign up for the preview at developers.google.com/connected-apps. For more news, visit 9to5Google on YouTube.",
