Google brings Gemini Drive tools and Gmail delegation to mobile

Google said Ask Gemini in Drive was coming to the Drive Android and iOS apps on June 30, alongside AI Overviews in Drive on mobile and delegated Gmail account support on phones. The shift matters because it moves more of the work that used to wait for a laptop into the same devices people reach for between meetings, on the road and in the field.

Ask Gemini in Drive is the centerpiece of the rollout. Google said it supports dedicated conversations around specific files and folders, persistent conversation history and grounding across Drive, other Workspace apps and the web. It is built into Drive’s architecture and keeps existing access permissions, DLP policies and information-rights management controls intact. The mobile version is rolling out in English and 28 additional languages over the next several weeks.

The timeline shows how fast Google has been layering context into the product. AI Overviews in Drive reached general availability on April 22, then Gmail became a source for Ask Gemini in Drive on June 3, extending the tool’s reach from files and folders into email threads. On a phone, that turns Drive into something closer to a live research layer than a quick-answer bot, with enough continuity to carry one task into the next without rebuilding context on a desktop tab.

For monday.com, the direction is familiar. On March 11, the company said it had introduced infrastructure that lets external AI agents sign up, authenticate and operate directly inside its platform. On May 6, monday.com said it was repositioning itself as an AI Work Platform with native AI agents, and said those agents can draw on live workflow data under existing permissions and governance. That aligns with the company’s broader mobile story: teams do not just need visibility into work, they need a way to push work forward from wherever they are.

The business case behind that shift is already visible in monday.com’s numbers. The company reported 27% revenue growth in 2025, $333.9 million in fourth-quarter revenue and record net adds of customers with more than $100,000 in ARR. It also said monday vibe was the fastest product in company history to pass $1 million in ARR. Google’s mobile push makes the competitive question sharper for work software vendors: can the product carry context, permissions and action onto a phone, or does it stop at a thinner version of the desktop experience?
