Connect Gemini to Paigy, and answer its first question from your phone New: tell us if a step differs

About five minutes. You'll connect Gemini, have it send a real question to your phone, answer it with a tap, and watch Gemini pick the answer up.

What you need

A personal Google account using Gemini in English, with Keep Activity on and, at the time of writing, a paid Google AI plan. You add the app on gemini.google.com in a browser.
The Paigy app on your phone, signed in, with notifications allowed. No account yet? You'll make one during sign-in, then sign in to the app with the same one.

Part 1: connect

Copy Paigy's address:

https://paigy.ai/api/mcp

On gemini.google.com, open the connected apps settings: Google's help currently says Customize → Connectors in the sidebar; on some accounts it is Settings → Connected Apps.
Under custom apps, choose the option that may be named Add a custom app.
Paste the address and continue.

Screenshot to come Gemini's Connected Apps settings with the custom app field showing https://paigy.ai/api/mcp.

Gemini's custom app field, filled in.

Part 2: approve on Paigy

A window opens on paigy.ai/connect. Sign in to Paigy if it asks.

Screenshot to come The Paigy approval page in a browser window: the title Approve Gemini?, the line Returns you to a Google address, the warning Only approve if you just added Paigy in Gemini yourself, and the Approve and Not now buttons.

The page names the app and the address it returns you to. If that address isn't a Google address, tap Not now.

Check the line Returns you to a Google address.
Tap Approve. The window hands you back to Gemini.

On your phone, open Paigy's Agents tab: there's a new agent named after Gemini. That's the connection, and disconnecting it there ends it.

Gemini shows up as one of your agents.

Part 3: your first real task

In a new Gemini chat, type @ and pick Paigy. Then send this:

Use Paigy to ask me on my phone: should the team offsite be on Tuesday or Thursday? Give me both as options.

Gemini calls Paigy and sends the question with the two options. It may tell you it's waiting for your answer.

Screenshot to come A Gemini chat: the prompt asking Paigy to put the offsite question on the phone, and Gemini's reply saying it sent the question with Tuesday and Thursday as options.

Gemini confirms it sent the question.

On your phone the question arrives as a card on For you with Tuesday and Thursday to tap. Depending on your call settings, Paigy may ring you instead, and you can answer out loud.

Screenshot to come The Paigy app's For you tab on an iPhone, showing the offsite question as a card with Tuesday and Thursday as options.

Answer with one tap.

Tap Thursday. Back in Gemini, if it was still waiting, it picks the answer up by itself. If it had already finished replying, say:

Check Paigy for my answer.

Gemini reads the answer from Paigy: Thursday.

Screenshot to come The same Gemini chat, now with Gemini reporting that the answer on Paigy is Thursday.

Gemini reads your answer back.

Try next

"What do my agents need from me?" to clear your waiting questions from one chat.
"Search Paigy for what I decided about the launch."
"Send me a Paigy note with this summary." to keep something for later on your phone.

If something goes wrong

No Paigy tools in the chat: check the connector is switched on for this chat, and that the address is exactly https://paigy.ai/api/mcp.
The window doesn't hand you back: tap Try again on the Paigy page, or remove the connector and add it again.
No card on your phone: sign in to the app with the same Paigy account you approved with, and allow notifications.

More fixes: troubleshooting. A step that looks different on your screen: tell us.

Menu names from Google's Use & manage Connected Apps in Gemini (read 28 Oct 2026). Google limits custom apps by plan, language and the Keep Activity setting, and those limits change.

The honest limit. Your assistant can use Paigy while you are chatting with it. Paigy can't open a chat, wake the assistant, or hand it work on its own. If an answer arrives after the assistant has replied, it waits in Paigy until you next ask. For agents that keep working while you're away and get woken when you answer, use a coding agent on your computer.
