Google now lets users connect apps to AI Mode in Search

Starting this week, users will be able to interact with and complete tasks across apps like Instacart, Canva, and YouTube Music right from AI Mode in Search, Google says . The move is part of Google’s broader Search AI overhaul, as the company rapidly transforms its search box into a universal AI assistant that does everything for users, from shopping to travel planning to answering questions directly. OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Anthropic’s Claude already support third-party app integrations.
