Description
At Made by Google on 12 August, Google connected thirteen third-party services to the Gemini app. Zocdoc for doctor's appointments, OpenTable for restaurants, plus Ticketmaster, Angi, Thumbtack, Otter.ai, Granola, Wix, Fever, GetYourGuide, Localiza, iHeartRadio and Pandora.
What it actually does varies by app. With OpenTable, Gemini can book, change and cancel reservations. With Zocdoc, Google's own wording is "book a doctor's appointment." With Ticketmaster it buys nothing: it finds events and seats, then hands you to Ticketmaster to complete the purchase yourself.
The announcement itself contains no privacy information at all. Google's Help Centre does, and it is worth reading. It says Gemini will share with third parties information that "can include data like your name and address or info you find sensitive," that a subset of connected-app data is reviewed by human reviewers, and that disconnecting an app does not remove data that app already holds. It also warns that "Gemini can make mistakes, like making purchases or sharing your data with third parties unexpectedly."
Zocdoc and Ticketmaster are United States only. OpenTable covers the UK and US. None of the headline features are available in the Gulf yet.
