Unlock new possibilities with Gemini extensions
Gemini is more than just an AI chatbot for your phone. Its extensions are able to interact with certain apps on your phone and take care of a wide range of tasks. Currently, Gemini extensions are available for Google’s services only. These include Google Flights, Google Hotels, Google Maps, Google Workspace (Gmail, Drive, Docs, and more), OpenStax, YouTube, and YouTube Music.
Apart from summarising YouTube videos, you can use Gemini extensions to plan a trip, quickly view your past bookings, get a rough idea of the expenses, and more without opening multiple apps. Extensions work intuitively and reduce the work rate required to carry out a task. Since Gemini is able to look into certain apps and read the data, you don’t need to do it manually anymore.
