The first Gemini desktop app, now on Mac<\/p>\n

There\u2019s currently no Google search app for macOS, but Google has the AI side covered with the new Gemini app. This is the company\u2019s first standalone desktop app for accessing Gemini. Google\u2019s Josh Woodward says<\/a> Google has been getting requests for a native Mac app, so the company put together a small team to build one. It didn\u2019t even take very long, with less than 100 days to deliver a supposed 100-plus features on Mac. CEO Sundar Pichai says it was built entirely using Google Antigravity<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Opening the app is similar to how you access the Windows search app\u2014hit Option + Space at any time to pull up a Gemini prompt bar. You can ask general questions like you would the web version of Gemini, but it can also access your windows for additional context. Again, that\u2019s similar to the Windows app, with a greater focus on AI.<\/p>\n

The Mac Gemini app, which is coded entirely in Swift, includes a full spate of Gemini features and model types. You can upload files, create notebooks, and access tools like Deep Research and Canvas right on your desktop. It also has access to image-, video-, and music-generation models. More features are apparently on the way, too.<\/p>\n

Even if you like generative AI, Google\u2019s method of distribution may be a dealbreaker. As of now, the company has opted not to list the app in the App Store for Mac. Instead, you have to download and install a DMG file from Google\u2019s website<\/a>. This one is available in all regions and languages with Gemini support.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The first Gemini desktop app, now on Mac There\u2019s currently no Google search app for macOS, but Google…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":394085,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[85,46,125],"class_list":{"0":"post-394084","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-technology","8":"tag-il","9":"tag-israel","10":"tag-technology"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/394084","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=394084"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/394084\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/394085"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=394084"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=394084"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=394084"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
