A native Windows desktop app for Gemini, designed to integrate with everyday applications.
Google released a native Gemini desktop application for Windows, designed to work alongside the applications people use throughout the day rather than only in a browser tab.
Desktop AI assistants raise specific questions for IT teams: what the application can see on screen or read from the filesystem, how it authenticates, and whether it falls under existing endpoint software policy.
Organizations that have restricted AI usage through browser controls should note that a desktop client bypasses that enforcement point entirely.
