Summary
Google is launching a new Gemini AI app for Mac that allows users to interact with the AI assistant directly from their desktop without switching windows. The app features a floating chat bubble accessible via Option + Space shortcut, enabling users to ask questions and share their screen content with Gemini after granting permission. The assistant can then pull information from what the user is viewing to provide relevant answers, functioning similarly to Apple's upgraded Spotlight feature.
