Most Gemini Extensions for Workspace do not work

Hey,

about three weeks ago - right after Google's announcement - I enabled Gemini extensions in my Workspace admin panel and also in the settings of the Gemini app/website.

Since then I can use @ in the prompt to adress Calendar, Keep, Tasks, Gmail, Docs and Drive with a drop-down menu. But only Gmail works properly. It connects to the extension and finds mails and answers questions about them.

Drive seems to connect correctly to the extension correctly (shows the Workspace icon above the answer), but then shows a "request failed" error.

Calendar, Keep and Tasks don't even connect to the Workspace extension. They always say, "this is not possible" or "as a language model, i do not have access to your calendar" or something like that. They seem to ignore the Workspace extensions completely.

I've tried both English and German prompts and English and German language settings for Gemini.

Really no one with the same issue?

I'm getting the opposite: Drive says it's not possible but Calendar is working correctly (I haven't tried any others)

The extension setting in the admin console says it's beta, so maybe not everything is working yet?

Have you tried to Create a support case?

Hi @StephenHind ,

that is interesting. Calendar, Task and Keep do still not work for me. Drive and Mail do.

Support says, I have to wait. It should be working in the next days. But that answer was already about two weaks ago.

Does this work for anybody now? I still have the same issue.

Appears to be working fine for me, if not better:

Hi @StephenHind,

thank you! That is so strange. I've tried all extensions/apps daily for about seven weeks now. @Gmail and @Google Drive do work properly most of the time. But all the others never did.

They don't work in english:

Does not work in english or german.

They don't work in german:

But Gmail does work:

Gmails works as aspected in german.

And Google Drive does as well:

Google Drive works as aspected in german.

I already ask the Workspace support. They say, I have to wait just a few days. But I wait for 7 weeks now. I also have turned apps on and off in Admin Panel and Gemini App/Website. So I have no idea, what is wrong.
