Gemini lands on Windows with an Alt + Space shortcut
The Gemini app is now available for Windows
Google is bringing the Gemini app to Windows 10 and 11, giving PC users instant AI help without leaving their current screen. Press Alt + Space to open Gemini over active work, hand multi-step tasks to the Gemini Spark agent, pull information from Gmail and Google Drive, or generate images and videos with Nano Banana and Gemini Omni. The lightweight app runs quietly in the background and is available globally today.
Press Alt + Space on your PC at any time to open Gemini over your active work.

It's crazy to me that there's no screenshots on the blog post. And when you click through to download it there's a bunch of aspirational pictures, but only one short clip showing what it actually looks like. Why? Is it too hard to show a screenshot?

I still can't stand the fact that in order to use their mobile app you must allow sharing data for training. No thanks will close the app and it seems like they follow the same thing with their desktop app.
Outside of that, if I want to use Gemini through the browser they link allowing your data to be trained on with persistence of chats. If I don't want my data trained on I must allow them to train on my data.
For those reasons it's pretty much unusable for me.

With the peoples' dependency on gmail (and maybe other services like drive) I wouldn't recommend any of my friends to tie the same account to a Google's AI product that may or may not get them banned for asking something innocent (or not).
And as it's trivial for Google to link all of our supposedly separate accounts, I wouldn't count on that kind of isolation either.
Plus it'll be decommissioned in half a year anyway

About time, I've been having resource usage and stuttering issues on browser from time to time (both on Firefox and Chromium). It seems a little bit better on desktop.
I still don't understand why aren't they merging Antigravity - Gemini - Spark under one app though. Antigravity is still looks confusing to me.

Is it still gemini 3.6? It's crazy that i still have 3.6 and if you want 3.8 you need to use API.
