Google Hints at AI Advanced Services in Apps Script: Validation for a Mystic Marty Prediction

At the Devoteam UK GDC event on the 16, October 2025 I debuted, ‘Mystic Marty’ and made three AppSheet and Apps Script predictions for H2 2026.

The Predictions

These predictions were:

1. Deep Integration of AppSheet into Google Workspace Flows: By allowing AppSheet applications to act as both triggers and actions within Workspace Flows, AppSheet transitions from an isolated tool into a managed step within a larger, automated business value stream, preventing the creation of new data silos and process bottlenecks.
2. AppSheet Actions within Gemini Enterprise (aka Agentspace): Integrating AppSheet into Gemini Enterprise positions it as a mechanism for structuring and exposing proprietary business data, enabling the creation of custom, data-aware agents at enterprise scale.
3. Gemini App as a Google Apps Script Service: By making it simple for AppSheet automations to call Apps Script functions that interact directly with Vertex AI and Gemini models, this feature addresses complex, domain-specific enterprise needs that go beyond the scope of no-code solutions.

The Validation

Roll forward one week to the Google Workspace Developer Summit in Paris, and we had confirmation in a presentation by Luke Camery (Product Lead, Enterprise Collaboration at Google) that Google is in the early planning stages of an AI Advanced Services in Apps Script which would be launched in 2026.

Not only that, but a free quota was being considered, which would avoid the need for users to create an associated Google Cloud Project (GCP). The details are still being worked out and this offer is subject to change, but the fact it is being considered answers a lot of the questions I hear on this topic from the community.

The Method Behind the Mysticism

These predictions weren’t just guesswork. They stemmed from both historic product knowledge and more significantly from an analysis with Gemini of the ‘DORA: The 2025 State of AI-assisted Software Development’ report and in particular exploring how high-quality internal platforms can unlock and amplify the value of AI.

The report’s emphasis on internal platforms as a key enabler for AI was a clear indicator. It suggested that Google would inevitably need to provide more powerful, integrated tools—like AI services in Apps Script—to allow enterprise developers to build these exact kinds of high-value platforms.

What This Means for Apps Scripters

The hint of a free quota, is more than just interesting news—it signals a significant potential shift for the Apps Script community. The removal of the GCP barrier, in particular, would allow seamless access to powerful AI tools, allowing Google Workspace users an opportunity to experiment with generative AI in their automations.

While Google’s plans are “subject to change”, the direction seems clear. The integration of AI Advanced Services directly into Apps Script could represent the next major evolution of the platform, moving it from a tool for automation to an integrated high-value platform for intelligent application development. As always, we’ll be watching this space closely.
