Gemini<\/span><\/a><\/span> is getting a native MacOS<\/span><\/a><\/span> app so that you have a faster way to talk to Google’s AI chatbot<\/span><\/a><\/span>, bringing access to some of its best features with just a couple of clicks.\u00a0<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a> <\/figure>\n Artificial intelligence is becoming more ingrained in everyday life, and companies are trying to make it easier than ever to access. On smartphones<\/span><\/a><\/span>, AI is already just a button press away, but for desktops, LLMs<\/span><\/a><\/span> like Google’s Gemini<\/span><\/a><\/span> have been restricted to web applications.\u00a0<\/p>\n With the new app, Gemini is available via a simple keyboard shortcut.\u00a0<\/p>\n If you’ve got a MacBook, you can access Gemini at any time by pressing Option and Space<\/strong> on the keyboard, without having to switch tabs or open another window.\u00a0<\/p>\n Gemini’s best features, like Nano Banana<\/span><\/a><\/span> image generation, video<\/span><\/a><\/span> and music generation, are also just a few clicks away.<\/p>\n Much like you can do with the Gemini mobile app, the new MacOS app will let you share context from a window instantly so you can get insight on the content you’re viewing. Google says this will also work with local files on your computer and isn’t limited to web pages.\u00a0<\/p>\n The free, native app is available now for all users on MacOS 15 and up. Google says this is just the beginning and that it’s building the foundation for a “personal, proactive and powerful desktop assistant.”\u00a0<\/p>\n The app can be downloaded at gemini.google\/mac<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture><\/div>\n
