Google Gemini app to get deeper thinking and more third-party app support, report says
Source: Mashable Tech
The Gemini app is already rolling out a new “Thinking level” option for some users, letting them choose between Standard and Extended reasoning modes when using Gemini 3 Flash or Gemini 3.1 Pro.
New Thinking Level Option
The Extended setting is designed for more complex topics that benefit from additional processing time—a consumer‑facing version of the thinking‑level controls that Google AI Studio already offers developers.
Expanded Third‑Party App Support
Gemini is also broadening its roster of third‑party integrations. Existing support includes GitHub, OpenStax, Spotify, and WhatsApp. According to 9to5Google, documentation points to upcoming additions:
- Canva
- Instacart
- OpenTable
Details of Upcoming Integrations
- Canva – Users will be able to generate and edit designs directly through Gemini prompts.
- Instacart – Users can add ingredients to a shopping cart from a recipe link or a simple list.
- OpenTable – Enables restaurant search, booking, and reservation management within the chat window, with the ability to hand off a confirmed reservation directly to Google Calendar.
None of these three new integrations has rolled out yet, per the report. The timing is notable given that Google’s I/O developer conference is literally a day away.
The rollout may signal the start of Google transitioning Gemini AI toward an agentic AI rather than a simple chatbot.
