I should've provided more detail. The demo is really about a new app that uses AppFunctions to enable Google's agent to use data about a family group, and coordinate their actions mostly around taking care of an elderly family member.
The purpose of the demo is to show that you it's better to enable agents to access relevant data and actions in a controlled way than it is to do app specific integrations with, for example, a map and navigation app in order to plan group gatherings. Instead it's better to enable agents to access relevant data in a controlled way, and to leave coordination across apps to the agent.
In fewer words: if working with another app could be valuable, leave it up to the agent instead of doing the integration at the app level.
