Google has rolled out a dedicated Gemini desktop client for Windows 10 and 11, moving its primary AI assistant off browser tabs and directly onto Microsoft's desktop. The app allows users to invoke prompt inputs, model selectors, and image generation using an Alt + Space global shortcut. Equipped with granular permission toggles and startup controls, it establishes a dedicated Gemini footprint separate from Google's search-oriented desktop tool, intensifying the contest for quick-access desktop workflows.
