Microsoft Adds Google Contacts Connector to Copilot
Microsoft's Copilot now supports a Google Contacts connector, which has rolled out to Copilot Web and the Copilot Android app, and is appearing in the standalone Windows app for some users. The connector lets Copilot retrieve saved contact details (phone numbers and emails) after user consent, though it only returns numbers for contacts with email addresses. The author tested reliability and compared Copilot's behavior with Google’s Gemini.
Key Points
- 1Adds Google Contacts connector to Copilot, enabling retrieval of contact phone numbers and email addresses.
- 2Limits response to contacts that include an email address, likely for privacy and access constraints.
- 3Requires linking Google account and granting download permissions; affects data residency and integration testing.
Scoring Rationale
Practical connector rollout enabling real-world integration, but inconsistent retrieval behavior and limited novelty lower its broader impact.
