Google unveiled its first standalone desktop apps for Gemini on Mac and Windows, marking a significant push into generative AI tools for local users. The Mac version, built entirely in Swift, offers nearly all web-based Gemini features, including file uploads, Deep Research, and Canvas tools, alongside image-, video-, and music-generation models. Developed in under 100 days using Google Antigravity, the app addresses user demand for native macOS integration, though it bypasses the App Store in favor of DMG file downloads. Sundar Pichai emphasized the focus on AI-driven context access, allowing users to interact with open windows for enhanced productivity.
