Mac owner? Need even more AI<\/a> in your life? We’ve got great news for you: Google<\/a>‘s AI assistant Gemini<\/a> is now available as a dedicated Mac app. <\/p>\n

If you choose to install the app<\/a>, it will be available via a keyboard shortcut (Option + Space), which can be handier than opening the Gemini website<\/a>. But there are other perks to having Gemini living on your desktop. For example, you can share what’s on your screen with Gemini, and have it look at your local files. <\/p>\n

To do so, you’ll have to give the app access to your Mac’s screen and audio in the Settings. You may want to revoke that access when you’re not using the feature, for privacy and security’s sake.<\/p>\n

Google’s Gemini is a bit late to the party, with both Anthropic’s Claude<\/a> and OpenAI’s ChatGPT<\/a> having a dedicated Mac app already. The company says that this launch is “just the beginning.” <\/p>\n

“We’re building the foundation for a truly personal, proactive and powerful desktop assistant, with more news to share in the coming months,” said Google in a blog post<\/a>. <\/p>\n
