If you’re reviewing a complex chart, you can share your window and ask, ‘What are the three biggest takeaways here?’ to get an instant summary. This brings powerful context to your creative work as well.
• Switching between windows on your desktop can be clunky and slow. Now, you can bring up Gemini from anywhere on your Mac with a quick shortcut (Option + Space) to get help instantly, without ever switching tabs. Whether you’re drafting a market report and need to verify a date or building a budget in a spreadsheet and need the right formula, you can get an answer and get right back to work.

Starting today, the native macOS app is available to all Gemini users ¹ on macOS versions 15 and up, globally, at no cost. To get started, you can download the app directly at gemini.google/mac and begin experiencing a faster, more integrated desktop workflow. We’re starting today with an app that brings AI assistance right where your work happens, but this first release is just the beginning. We’re building the foundation for a truly personal, proactive and powerful desktop assistant, with more news to share in the coming months…”
