Gemini gets a Customize hub for skills and more than 40 connected apps
Sorted AI22 OctGoogle has added a Customize menu to the Gemini app that brings custom skills and connected apps into one place. Skills hold prompt preferences for repetitive tasks, such as keeping your tone or a set response structure, and you can connect more than 40 external services as well as Google apps, with permissions you can audit or disconnect at any time. It is rolling out to all user tiers on web, mobile and the Gemini desktop app on Windows and macOS, in a gradual rollout of up to 15 days that started on 13 October 2026. Most connected apps are currently in English in the US, with select apps available in other English-speaking regions, Brazil and India.
Why it matters: If you repeat the same instructions to Gemini, save them once as a skill; Workspace admins can review and manage connected apps in the Admin console under Apps > Additional Google services > Gemini, so check that before staff start linking tools.
