Google is accelerating development of a dedicated Gemini AI app for the Mac lineup to compete more directly with OpenAI and Anthropic. The company has begun privately testing an early version with select users, gathering feedback and identifying bugs ahead of a wider release. The current version includes core features but does not yet offer the full functionality planned for launch. This move is part of a broader effort by Google to expand access to AI chatbots. The new app will allow users to generate images, videos, and music, analyze data, search the web, and review past conversations.
