Google plans to upgrade Gemini Enterprise connectors

Google is upgrading connectors for Gemini Enterprise, requiring users to reauthorize them, likely to support expanded permissions and improved reliability. The update brings visual parity with the consumer Gemini app and lays groundwork for the Gemini Spark always-on agent, which will work through these connectors. The changes are rolling out gradually to tenants.

Google appears to be preparing another round of changes for Gemini Enterprise, its front door for AI-assisted work across company data. In recent builds, the platform's main prompt bar has picked up the glowing treatment already familiar from the consumer Gemini app, bringing the two products close to visual parity. It is a small touch, but one that fits Google's broader push to make its enterprise assistant feel like the Gemini that hundreds of millions of people already use.

More consequential is a new notice telling users that their Google Workspace connectors are being upgraded and may need to be reauthorized to keep working. The message does not spell out what changed under the hood, but the timing is telling. The connector catalog in Gemini Enterprise has grown quickly in recent months, covering Slack, Microsoft Teams, Notion, Linear, Jira, ServiceNow, and dozens of other workplace tools, with new actions such as creating pages and updating tickets landing steadily. A reauthorization wave usually points to expanded permissions or reworked plumbing, and the likely payoff is more dependable behavior whenever Gemini reads from or writes to those services.

Gemini Spark, the always-on agent Google introduced at I/O in May, now appears behind a feature flag inside Gemini Enterprise, though it remains hidden for the moment. Google has said Spark would reach Gemini Enterprise customers soon and that the agent will be able to work through existing connectors such as SharePoint, OneDrive, and ServiceNow, so a background worker acting across a company's tools is only as capable as the connections beneath it. Seen that way, the connector overhaul looks like groundwork rather than housekeeping. Whether any of this has reached all tenants is unconfirmed, and Google typically ships such changes gradually, so some organizations may already see pieces of the update while others wait.
