Today, we’re bringing the Gemini app to macOS as a native desktop experience, designed to live right where you work. It’s always just a keyboard shortcut away, so you can quickly get the help you need without losing your focus. Here are a few ways you can use it right now:

Share your window for instant context

With our new native desktop experience, you can share anything on your screen with Gemini to get help with exactly what you’re looking at, including local files. 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.
