Google Gemini

Google Gemini for Mac is the official app of Google's AI assistant, now available natively on your computer. This AI tool can generate content from scratch, analyze complex information, and perform advanced reasoning without you having to open the browser. On top of this, it is multimodal, so it can combine different types of information to give you more accurate answers, even by analyzing what you see on your screen.

Instant access from any screen

When you press Option + Space together, Google Gemini appears instantly in a floating window over any app you have open. This is the fastest way to clarify a topic, remember a formula, or brainstorm without interrupting your workflow.

Additionally, Google Gemini for Mac allows you to share the on-screen content in real time to receive contextualized responses to your documents, data tables, or code snippets. As a result, instead of describing what you need, the AI can see what you want to ask about. It can also be used to write emails, translate texts, organize trips, or prepare for interviews.

Correct and generate programming code

Google Gemini can also correct and generate code directly from your Mac. Share your editor window or paste the snippet, and you'll get the answer to your query in seconds without having to switch tabs or search through guides.

Creativity and integration with the Google ecosystem

From creating images with Nano Banana to generating videos with Veo, Google Gemini places a complete suite of ready-to-use creative tools at your disposal on your Mac. Additionally, it integrates with Google Drive and NotebookLM, so you can access your files and notes without leaving the app.

My thoughts on Google Gemini

Although the app offers little by way of differences compared to the web version, the integration with other tools installed on the computer is interesting. On top of that, it can easily be modified so that it doesn't interfere too much with your daily use of the computer.

The best and the worst of Google Gemini

• Integration with other apps and the ability to review the history of previous conversations with Gemini in the browser or on mobile devices. Furthermore, the Option + Space shortcut is a huge help.

• The most powerful features remain behind a paywall.
