Spotify Might Be Getting Its Own Gemini Extension Soon. Here’s How It Could Work

Gemini offers extension support, allowing you to use other Google and third-party apps within the voice assistant. The company currently offers a YouTube Music extension, but what if you use another music streaming platform?

Some Android Power a teardown of the Google app (version 15.30.27.29) revealed that a Spotify extension for Gemini is in the works. The description of the extension (seen in the first image below) suggests that it will allow you to play both music and podcasts.

We were able to get this feature working on our phone by asking Gemini to play a song via Spotify. Gemini briefly displays a YouTube Music info card after the request is processed, but the song actually plays via Spotify. It’s also worth noting that the chatbot can play music via Spotify in the background instead of launching the app. Check out our video below to get a better idea of ​​how the extension works.

Still, this is good news because there are hundreds of millions of Spotify users, so you don’t need to sign up for YouTube Music Premium if you want Gemini integration on your Android device.

This isn’t the only upcoming Gemini extension we’ve spotted in recent days. We’ve discovered that there are a few other unannounced Gemini extensions in the works, including Google Home, the Phone app, and Utilities. This is all encouraging news if you think Gemini could benefit from more comprehensive integration with other apps and services.
