What can Gemini in Google Workspace now connect to?
Google has added seven third-party connectors to Gemini in Workspace: Monday, Salesforce, Asana, Atlassian Rovo, HubSpot, Intuit Mailchimp and Intuit QuickBooks. The connections use the Model Context Protocol, the same open standard the other AI vendors have adopted, and they are available now on both rapid and scheduled release tracks.
In practice, the Gemini side panel in Docs, Sheets, Slides or Chat can answer questions using data that lives in those tools, without switching tabs or downloading a file.
If your business runs on Google Workspace and one of those seven tools, this is the first time the two halves can talk to each other without an automation platform in between. Drafting a client email in Gmail with the deal notes from HubSpot, or a board summary in Docs with figures from QuickBooks, becomes a question you ask rather than a copy-and-paste job.
Who gets the Gemini connectors, and who controls them?
The Gemini connectors are on by default for eligible users on Business and Enterprise editions, along with the Google AI Pro and Ultra consumer plans. Admins manage them in the Admin console under Gemini for Workspace, then Third-Party Connectors, at domain, organisational unit or group level.
Should your business check its Gemini connector settings today?
Yes, the default-on setting is the thing to check today. Staff may already be able to query your CRM and accounting data through Gemini. That is fine if your Workspace admin has decided it should be, and worth a conversation if nobody has. The Admin console lets you restrict it to specific groups, which is a sensible starting point.
It is cheap to try on one team before you roll it wider.
