I am unable to see the option on my Gemini app with a Gemini AI Pro subscription.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, Google seems set to roll out new app integrations in Gemini as well. The company\u2019s support page now shows instructions for using Canva, Instacart, and OpenTable with Gemini as well.<\/p>\n<p>These integrations haven\u2019t rolled out yet. However, with the support pages going live, they should be available soon.<\/p>\n<p>With Canva, Instacart, and OpenTable, Gemini users will soon be able to design and manage assets, add grocery items to their carts, and make restaurant reservations directly from the app. The integrations will currently be available in English on the Gemini app and website.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for being part of our community.
