OpenCurate in Gemini.
Copy the setup prompt, or open it in Gemini, and it walks you through. About five minutes.
Gemini can't change its own settings, so it tells you what to click, waits for you at each step, and checks the connection at the end.
What you need
- A personal Google Account, on any plan, with Keep Activity turned on. For now, Google offers custom apps in English, in the US, to people 18 and over.
- gemini.google.com in a browser, to set it up. Once added, OpenCurate works in the Gemini mobile app too.
- Gemini can create your projects and work on them with you: keep a thought, develop a work, or ask for a draft and revisions. Each one lives on OpenCurate. After you create one, Gemini offers it a notebook of its own, so “let's keep going” is all you type there. Your notes can go in the notebook as sources: they stay private, and Gemini draws on them when you ask.

04.Check it worked
Start a new chat and ask:
Read https://opencurate.ai/install.md and test my OpenCurate setup.Gemini answers that OpenCurate is connected. Then ask it to list your projects. If it doesn't use OpenCurate, type @ and pick OpenCurate. Gemini asks you to confirm before it changes something, such as saving what a project saved or made. That's expected.
