OpinionPulse + Gemini: turn an opinion-shift check into a team briefing
OpinionPulse joins recent public poll headlines with Polymarket and Kalshi prices and X post volume, then says whether opinion on a topic is shifting, with sources. Gemini is Google's assistant, and its help pages describe connecting Google Docs and Drive. Here is how a result can become a briefing your team reads in Docs, what works today, and what to check first.

Key takeaways
The short version.
- OpinionPulse reports whether public opinion on a topic is shifting, using recent poll headlines, overlapping Polymarket and Kalshi prices and X post volume, with every source attached.
- Google's help pages say Gemini can connect to Google Workspace apps such as Docs and Drive, so it can read a briefing template or earlier notes your team already keeps.
- Google's help page says a custom app can be added from an MCP server URL in the Gemini web app, for personal Google Accounts, ages 18 and over, in the US, in English. It says this is not available with a work or school account for now.
- If your team uses Workspace business accounts and cannot add the connector, run the check from the app's own site, paste the result into Gemini and ask for the briefing. It is more manual, but it works.
- Nothing here is a partnership, listing or built-in integration with Google. OpinionPulse reports public data; it is not advice, a trade or a vote call.

Gemini is Google's AI assistant.
It is for people who brief others on public mood: a communications lead, a newsroom editor, a researcher, a small team that wants a weekly read on a topic. If your team lives in Google Docs and Drive, the useful end product is a short, sourced note everyone can open, not a chat that scrolls away.
OpinionPulse is the evidence part. Name a topic and it joins recent public poll headlines with overlapping Polymarket and Kalshi prices and an X volume label, then tells you whether opinion is shifting. It is data, not advice, a trade or a vote call, and it takes no side on any issue.
Gemini is Google's AI assistant. Together they split the work: the app reports what the sources show, and Gemini helps you shape it into the format your team already uses.
Use cases
4 ways people use OpinionPulse + Gemini.
- Briefing draftBriefing draft
1. Draft a briefing from a result
Ask OpinionPulse whether opinion on a topic you follow is moving. When the poll and the markets point the same way, the result is a shift with its direction and sources. Then ask Gemini to write it as a half-page briefing: what the sources show, what is missing and which links to open.
Copy the draft into a Google Doc and share it with your team. Gemini's help pages describe reading Docs and Drive once connected, but they also say Gemini cannot manage Drive content such as creating folders or moving files, so plan to paste the draft in yourself.
- Template matchTemplate match
2. Match your team's template
If your team already has a briefing template in Google Docs, connect Google Workspace in Gemini and ask it to follow that layout. Mention the Docs app in your prompt and describe the template by its keywords; Google advises against pasting a document's URL.
The app supplies the sources and the label. Gemini supplies the formatting. Read the linked polls and prices before the briefing goes out.
- Gaps stay visibleGaps stay visible
3. Report missing data honestly
When the poll and the markets do not line up, OpinionPulse returns a code explaining why, such as no poll in the window. Missing data is reported as missing, never as zero.
Ask Gemini to keep that gap visible in the briefing instead of smoothing it over. A note that says "no recent poll found" is more useful to a team than a confident guess.
- Week over weekWeek over week
4. Compare this week with last week
Ask about the same topic on a schedule you choose and keep each result in the same Doc. Then ask Gemini to summarize how the sources changed since your last entry, based only on what the Doc contains.
Premium adds alerts when opinion on a topic you follow shifts, and text alerts are rolling out soon. Until then you ask for the check yourself.

How to
How would I use OpinionPulse with Gemini?
Step 1
Get a free key at opinionpulse.app/ui/keys. It is shown once, so save it somewhere safe.
Step 2
On a computer, go to gemini.google.com, open Settings, then Connected Apps, choose to add a custom app and enter the app's address, https://opinionpulse.app/mcp. If Gemini asks for credentials, use your key.
Step 3
Type @, pick the app and ask whether opinion on a topic you follow is shifting.
Step 4
Connect Google Workspace in Gemini if you want it to read your Docs, then ask for a briefing and paste it into a shared Doc.
Google limits custom apps to personal accounts, ages 18+, in the US, in English, added from the web app, with Keep Activity on, and not for work or school accounts for now. If that rules you out, ask OpinionPulse from its own site or another assistant and paste the result into Gemini.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
Is OpinionPulse a built-in Gemini integration?
No. There is no official partnership, listing or built-in integration. You may add its connector address as a custom app, the way you would add any compatible MCP server.
Will this work with our Google Workspace business accounts?
Possibly not. Google's help page says custom apps are not available with a work or school account for now, and Workspace apps in Gemini depend on what your administrator allows. Check the page for your account, or use the paste method.
What if I cannot add custom apps?
Run the check from the app's own site, then paste the result into Gemini and ask for a briefing. It is more manual, but it works without a connection.
Does this tell me what people will vote for or what to trade?
No. OpinionPulse reports public data from polls, markets and post volume. It is not advice, a trade or a vote call, and Gemini's briefing is only as good as the sources you give it.
What is free and what is Premium?
Free covers checking any topic on demand, recent poll headlines, X volume labels and the MCP connector. Premium adds alerts when opinion on a topic you follow shifts, with new Premium tools as they launch. The apps are free during the beta.
