"textContent": "Google is bringing Gemini to the Mac with a new native macOS app that's available starting today. Gemini for Mac can be activated with a keyboard shortcut, and it has built-in tools for generating images, analyzing what's on your screen, reviewing files, and more.\n\n\nGemini is the last of the three major AI services to have a dedicated Mac app, because OpenAI and Anthropic have had Mac apps for quite some time.\n\nGemini can be brought up anywhere on the Mac with an Option + Space keyboard command, so there's no need to swap over to a dedicated window. Option + Shift + Space is available for opening the full Gemini chat window. Gemini can also be accessed from the Dock or through the Menu Bar.\n\nAny window on the Mac can be shared with Gemini, allowing Gemini to provide contextual assistance on anything that you're looking at. After activating Gemini, selecting the Share Window option will let Gemini see what it is you want to ask questions about. Gemini will need Accessibility access to read full pages in a browser window.\n\nNano Banana is available for creating images, and Veo can be used for generating videos.\n\nGemini for Mac is available for Macs running macOS 15 and later, and it is free to download and use. Free access to Gemini is limited, and Google has subscription plans with increased usage limits. Google AI Plus is $7.99 per month, Google AI Pro is $19.99 per month, and Google AI Ultra is $249.99 per month.\n\nGoogle says that the Mac app is the first step toward a personal, proactive, and powerful desktop assistant, with more news to follow in the coming months.\n\nTags: Gemini, Google\n\n\nThis article, \"Google Launches Native Gemini AI App for Mac\" first appeared on MacRumors.com\n\nDiscuss this article in our forums\n\n",
