At I\/O 2026, Google previewed two major features for the Gemini app on macOS that are coming this summer.<\/p>\n

Google introduced the native Mac app<\/a> in April<\/a>, with a \u201csmall team\u201d using Antigravity<\/a> to aid development.<\/p>\n

Gemini Spark<\/a> is your 24\/7 personal AI agent that can take actions on your behalf to help \u201cnavigate your digital life.\u201d This includes integrating with Gmail, Docs, and other Workspace apps, as well as third-party services.\u00a0It will be available to Google AI Ultra ($100 per month) subscribers in beta next week in the Gemini app on Android, iOS, and web.<\/p>\n

Spark is coming to Gemini for macOS this summer with the ability to perform tasks \u201cinvolving your local files and automate workflows across your desktop\u201d as we previously reported<\/a>. This will join the existing capability to use any of your open windows as context for prompts.<\/p>\n

A new voice experience will let you ramble, so you \u201cwon\u2019t have to worry about all the \u2018ums\u2019 or \u2018what abouts\u2019 that happen as you think aloud.\u201d When long-pressing the function key on Mac, Gemini will show a new floating pill at the bottom of your screen. Letting go submits the prompt with a thinking animation showing progress.<\/p>\n

Using the context from your screen, Gemini can turn your free-flowing speech into precise drafts, instantly reformatting the text to capture your intent, right where your cursor is.<\/p>\n

On stage this Tuesday, Google showed selecting files in Finder and then dictating an email that\u2019s automatically inserted into a Gmail compose window.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
