Google turns Search into an agent hub with Instacart and Canva links

google announced that users in the us can now securely link services like instacart, canva, and youtube music to ai mode within search. this integration allows the ai to perform specific actions within these apps, such as populating an instacart cart, generating design templates, or curating music playlists. by enabling direct interaction with connected tools, google is moving search from a purely informational resource toward a personal agent capable of executing complex tasks. the feature is currently rolling out and supports a limited number of partners, with more expected to join soon.
