The Gemini app is now available for Windows

Google has launched a dedicated Windows app for its Gemini AI assistant, allowing users to download and install it directly on their PCs. The app integrates into existing workflows, enabling quick access to AI assistance without switching applications. Users can invoke the tool with a keyboard shortcut (Alt + Space) to draft documents, summarize content, or generate images while working. The app is designed to operate efficiently in the background without impacting system performance.

The new desktop app expands Gemini’s capabilities by letting users hand off multi-step tasks to an AI agent called Gemini Spark. It can also pull information from Google services like Gmail and Google Drive to assist with projects. Additional features include generating custom images with Nano Banana and creating high-quality videos with Gemini Omni, all within the same interface. The app aims to streamline productivity by consolidating these tools in one place.

The Windows app is available globally for users running Windows 10 or 11, with no additional hardware requirements mentioned. Installation is free, though a Google AI subscription is required for full functionality. Users can download the app from the official website at gemini.google/desktop and begin using it immediately.

Google describes this release as the first step toward expanding Gemini’s native desktop capabilities, with more features planned for future updates. The company emphasizes the app’s lightweight design, noting it runs quietly without slowing down the PC. Availability is limited to users aged 18 and older, and some features may vary by region.
