Key Takeaways

  • The Gemini AI assistant can process information from various sources through extensions such as Google Maps, YouTube, and Google Flights.
  • The Google Keep and Google Tasks extensions were launched on smartphones late last month, and are now rolling out to Gemini on the web as well.
  • The new extension is compiled under the “Google Workspace” extension, and when enabled, it will allow you to connect Gmail, Docs, and Drive to Gemini as well.



Gemini, the AI ​​assistant that aspires to be an alternative to Google Assistant, can access and process information from various sources via extensions.

The extension was first introduced in September 2023, when Gemini was still called Bard but only in English, before expanding to all supported languages ​​and countries in April this year.

Extensions currently available include Google Flights, Google Hotels, Google Maps, and YouTube, with extensions for Google Home, Phone app, Utilities, and more in development.


The Google Keep and Google Tasks extensions then began rolling out to Pixel 9 users late last month and have since expanded to more devices. Additionally, as 9to5Google points out, it appears the Keep and Tasks extensions are also rolling out to the web version of Gemini.

The new extensions are available on Pixel 9 series and older Pixel devices, as well as the web version of Gemini. The Keep and Tasks extensions are compiled under the Google Workspace extensions, so they may already be enabled.

If you've never enabled the Workspace extension, follow these steps:

On Mobile

  • Go to the Gemini app.
  • Tap your profile in the top right.
  • Tap Extensions.
  • Toggle Google Workspace on.


On the web

  • Visit gemini.google.com/app.
  • Click the settings gear icon in the bottom left.
  • Click Extensions.
  • Toggle Google Workspace on.

Once you enable the extension, the same email as Gemini will also connect your Gmail, Google Docs, and Google Drive to Gemini.


Google Keep Extension

Any notes or lists you add to Google Keep will be accessible directly from Gemini, and you'll be able to search for specific notes by title, content, or labels. You can also narrow your results by searching for specific words within notes or lists stored in Google Keep. Here's a quick rundown of what users can use the extension for:


And if you use Gemini to suggest recipes, for example, you can ask the AI ​​assistant to save the recipe, and possibly other recipes like it, as a note in Google Keep. Found a workflow that fits your needs? You can save it as a list directly from Gemini.

Google Tasks Extension

Meanwhile, the task integration allows you to create new tasks with due dates and priorities, share task lists with others, notify Gemini of specific tasks on specific days, ask Gemini about tasks that need to be done on a specific day or week, delete tasks, and search for specific tasks by keywords, helping you stay on top of your schedule.


The new extension appears to be limited to English, at least for now.
