谷歌在周四宣布:https://blog.google/products-and-platforms/products/search/connected-apps/,现在允许用户在其对话式搜索体验AI模式中直接连接并使用一些常用应用程序。上线时,支持的应用包括Instacart、Canva和YouTube。
通过这一新更新,谷歌正在将AI模式的功能扩展到不仅仅回答问题,还能完成用户常用应用中的任务。科技巨头也可能希望用户更多地依赖AI模式进行计划和购物。此外,这一推出将使谷歌能够更好地与OpenAI的ChatGPT:https://techcrunch.com/2026/04/06/how-to-use-chatgpt-apps-doordash-spotify-uber/ 和Anthropic的Claude:https://claude.com/connectors/ 等支持应用整合的竞争对手竞争。
以一个例子来说,谷歌表示,如果你计划举行烧烤并使用AI模式创建购物清单,你可以连接你的Instacart账户,将食材直接添加到购物车,并在Instacart应用或网站上快速结账。
或者,如果你正在做一个项目,需要设计创意,比如传单,你可以让Canva为你展示一系列模板。在另一个例子中,谷歌表示,你可以使用AI模式为下一个聚会策划播放列表,并立即保存到YouTube Music。
这一更新正在向美国用户推出。谷歌表示,正在与一系列合作伙伴合作,并计划很快推出对更多应用的支持。
今天的公告建立在谷歌今年早些时候在Google I/O上推出的一项功能基础上:https://blog.google/innovation-and-ai/products/gemini-app/next-evolution-gemini-app/,该功能让用户可以将第三方应用连接到Gemini应用,以更快完成任务。支持的应用包括Canva、OpenTable、Spark、Instacart等。
自2025年初推出以来,谷歌一直在不断扩展AI模式的功能。最近,这家科技巨头宣布,AI模式现在可以帮助检查您所需的商品是否在附近的商店有库存:https://techcrunch.com/2026/04/17/googles-ai-mode-can-now-help-you-find-products-in-stock-nearby/。谷歌还最近增加了用户可以与AI模式并排浏览网页的功能:https://techcrunch.com/2026/04/16/google-now-lets-you-explore-the-web-side-by-side-with-ai-mode/,以便在保持搜索上下文的同时,比较细节和提出后续问题。
今年早些时候,谷歌在AI模式上推出了“个人智能”功能:https://techcrunch.com/2026/01/22/googles-ai-mode-can-now-tap-into-your-gmail-and-photos-to-provide-tailored-responses/,使其能够访问用户的Gmail和Google Photos,以提供更个性化的响应。

Google announced:https://blog.google/products-and-platforms/products/search/connected-apps/ on Thursday that it now allows users to link and interact with some of their go-to apps right in AI Mode, the tech giant’s conversational search experience. At launch, supported apps include Instacart, Canva, and YouTube.
With this new update, Google is expanding AI Mode beyond answering questions and into completing tasks across the apps they use regularly. The tech giant is also likely hoping that users will rely on AI Mode more often for things like planning and shopping. Plus, the rollout will allow Google to better compete with rivals like OpenAI’s ChatGPT:https://techcrunch.com/2026/04/06/how-to-use-chatgpt-apps-doordash-spotify-uber/ and Anthropic’s Claude:https://claude.com/connectors/, both of which support app integrations.
In one example, Google says that if you’re planning a barbecue and using AI Mode to create a grocery list, you can connect your Instacart account to add the ingredients directly to your shopping cart and quickly check out on the Instacart app or website.
Or, if you’re working on a project and need design ideas, like for a flyer, you can ask Canva to show you a selection of templates. In another example, Google says you could use AI Mode to curate a playlist for your next party and instantly save it to YouTube Music.
The update is rolling out to users in the U.S. Google says it’s working with a range of partners and plans to launch support for more apps soon.
Today’s announcement builds on a capability Google launched earlier this year:https://blog.google/innovation-and-ai/products/gemini-app/next-evolution-gemini-app/ at Google I/O that lets users connect third-party apps to the Gemini app to complete tasks faster. Supported apps include Canva, OpenTable, Spark, Instacart, and more.
Since its launch in early 2025, Google has been continuously building out AI Mode with more capabilities. Most recently, the tech giant announced that AI Mode can now help check whether an item:https://techcrunch.com/2026/04/17/googles-ai-mode-can-now-help-you-find-products-in-stock-nearby/ you need is in stock at a nearby store. Google also recently added the ability for users to explore the web side-by-side with AI Mode:https://techcrunch.com/2026/04/16/google-now-lets-you-explore-the-web-side-by-side-with-ai-mode/ to do things like compare details and ask follow-up questions while preserving the context of their search.
Earlier this year, Google launched “Personal Intelligence” on AI Mode:https://techcrunch.com/2026/01/22/googles-ai-mode-can-now-tap-into-your-gmail-and-photos-to-provide-tailored-responses/, enabling it to tap into users’ Gmail and Google Photos to provide more individualized responses.
