Gemini is cleaning up its apps, previously known as extensions, for more direct integrations that don’t require invoking @YouTube or @Google Maps.
Going to the Apps page, which is now referred to as “Connected Apps” in the gemini.google.com menu, reveals how several of these tools are no longer listed.
Additionally, the prompt box no longer lets you @YouTube, @Google Maps, @Google Flights, or @Google Hotels.
Google presumably wants people to prompt in a natural manner without having to be aware of apps/extensions.
In other changes, those not on Google AI Pro or Ultra with “Personal context” see the Saved info page renamed to a more explicit “Instructions for Gemini.” More on Gemini:
