To work with your notes and lists from Google Keep in Gemini Apps, Google Workspace must be connected to Gemini Apps.

Go to gemini.google.com or open the Gemini mobile app .
Make sure you’re signed in to the same account you use with Google Workspace.
Ask the Gemini app to create or find a list from Google Keep.
- Tip: To tell Gemini Apps to specifically use Google Keep, add @Google Keep to your prompt.
If you haven’t connected Google Workspace, you’ll get the option to connect it.
Follow the on-screen instructions.

Tip: You can also disable Google Workspace on your Apps page in Gemini settings.

Connect Samsung Notes

Important: The Gemini mobile app supports the Samsung Notes app only on the Galaxy S25 or later, and only if the Samsung Notes app is installed on your device. This app is on by default on supported Samsung devices.

Open the Gemini mobile app .
Ask the Gemini app to create or find a note in Samsung Notes.
- Tip: To tell the Gemini app to specifically use Samsung Notes, add @Samsung Notes to your prompt.

Tips:

If you connect multiple apps that work with notes and lists, the Gemini app defaults to the last one it accessed. To manage a different service, you can specify it in your promptby adding @Google Keep or @Samsung Notes.
Connected apps work the same way for both spoken and typed prompts. On Android mobile devices, if "Hey Google" doesn’t work, check if “Hey Google” and Voice Match are set up.

How apps work in Gemini

Gemini only connects to apps that are on your Apps page in Gemini settings. This includes apps you turn on when you specify them in your prompt with an "@" mention.
Gemini checks for apps that can help it generate a more helpful response. If Gemini finds an app that can help, it automatically sends information from your conversation and other relevant information to that app. For example, Gemini will send your location data to Google Maps if you ask for coffee shops near you and the Google Maps app is on in your Apps page in Gemini settings.
Gemini won’t access your personal content in other services without your permission. Gemini is designed to automatically work with some apps, including tools and content, on your device to help you seamlessly interact with it.
If you directly interact with another Google service in Gemini Apps, your activity might be saved by that other service. For example, if you watch a YouTube video in a Gemini app, YouTube may:
- Collect your personal information.
- Store and use that information according to YouTube’s terms of service.
- Store your watch history in your YouTube History. Learn how to manage your YouTube watch history.
Gemini Apps can connect with third-party apps and services. When they do, Gemini Apps share information with those apps and services to fulfill your requests. That information is then used by those third-party apps and services according to their own developers' privacy policies.
If you disable the YouTube app, you can still talk Live about a video you’re viewing in the YouTube app.
