Google added a central customize hub in the Gemini app. It groups skills and connected apps in one place. Skills let users set custom prompts for tone, voice or formatting. Connected apps add over 40 external services and Google apps. Users can audit or disconnect permissions at any time. The hub is rolling out globally on web, mobile and desktop. Most connected apps are currently English-only in the U.S. Admins can manage integrations in the Admin console. End users access the hub from the left menu in Gemini. The rollout started on October 13, 2026.
