Not content with stuffing Gemini into all of its own apps and services, Google wants you to adopt its AI assistant on desktops and laptops too. The company released a Gemini Windows app on Tuesday and it’s following that up a day later with one for Macs.

Google says the macOS Gemini app is a “native desktop experience” that you can access with a keyboard shortcut. By default, pressing option and space will open a mini chat, while a combo of option, shift and space will open the full Gemini chat experience. You’ll be able to adjust these bindings in the app settings.

Users will be able to share anything that’s on their screen, including files they have saved on your system, with the chatbot and ask it questions about whatever they’re seeing. This can include anything from images to documents, and data to code.

There’s an option to share full web pages with Gemini, not just what’s on your display. The Gemini app also supports image and video generation with Nano Banana and Veo, respectively. The app is available on Macs that are running macOS 15 (i.e. macOS Sequoia) or later in all countries and languages in which Gemini is supported.

“We’re building the foundation for a truly personal, proactive and powerful desktop assistant, with more news to share in the coming months,” Michael Friedman, group product manager for the Gemini app, wrote in a blog post. That’s intriguing, given that Apple’s long-delayed, generative AI revamp of Siri may finally debut at WWDC in June. Apple’s retooled chatbot, which is slated to have deep integration with macOS apps, is powered by Gemini models.
