Com a novidade, os usuários podem tocar no ícone do chatbot para fazer perguntas sobre uma tabela, gerar insights analíticos e criar gráficos.
Para facilitar o trabalho de quem está começando, o Google incluiu sugestões de perguntas como “Summarize this table” (“Faça um resumo dessa tabela”, em tradução direta) e “Analyze for insights” (“Analise para obter insights”).

Enquanto a integração presente na web considera o arquivo inteiro, os apps para iOS e Android ainda só consideram a aba ativa na hora de examinar algo, o que é uma limitação importante em relação à versão para web. Gráficos gerados pelo Gemini nos apps também são totalmente estáticos, e o chatbot não pode fazer alterações na planilha (como adicionar linhas, modificar a formatação, etc.).
De acordo com o Google, essa integração poderá levar até 15 dias para chegar a todos os usuários do Planilhas no iOS, e que também precisam ser assinantes dos planos Business Starter/Standard/Plus, Enterprise Starter/Standard/Plus ou Google AI Plus/Pro/Ultra para aproveitar a novidade. A integração estará disponível ainda por meio do add-on Google AI Pro for Education.
Uma vez adicionada ao seu app, essa integração virá ativada por padrão. Para recebê-la o mais rápido possível, certifique-se de manter o Planilhas atualizado.

Some are rank trackers with a new coat of paint, some are SEO suites bolting AI onto old workflows, and a few want to do the work for you. Searchable, sortable, and updated as this market keeps shifting under our feet.
O Gemini Live permite que os usuários do aplicativo do Gemini para iPhones e iPads tenham uma conversa contínua e mais natural com a inteligência artificial — podendo inclusive interrompê-la quando precisar, bastando começar a falar enquanto ela responde em voz alta.
Porém, você pode simplesmente desativar esse comportamento, impedindo que o Gemini seja interrompido quando você fala algo em voz alta.
O Mac se tornou um importante aliado de quem usa a máquina para rodar modelos de inteligência artificial locais — não é à toa que os Macs mini estão sendo muito visados nesse período de boom no mercado.
Caso use o Gemini (um dos principais nomes de chatbots, ao lado do ChatGPT e do Claude), é possível habilitar um ajuste que mantém o computador ativo enquanto o app do Gemini estiver aberto, impedindo que ele entre em repouso.
Google’s new Gemini app brings its AI assistant directly to Windows 10 and 11
Pressing [Alt] + [Space] summons Gemini without interrupting your current workflow
It’s remarkably convenient, although there's still room for improvement
You can say goodbye to opening a browser every time you want to use Gemini on your PC. Google has just released a Windows version of its Gemini app, and it’s by far the easiest and quickest way to get Google’s AI to answer your questions on Windows.
Gemini has had a macOS app for a while now, and now it has finally been joined by a dedicated Windows version, complete with its own keyboard shortcut. You can summon it from anywhere, no matter what you’re doing on your PC, by pressing [Alt] + [Space].
But here’s the thing: [Alt] + [Space] is already a little crowded on Windows. It traditionally opens the active window’s system menu, and is also the default shortcut for Microsoft’s PowerToys Run utility, a quick launcher for Windows power users that provides instant access to applications, files, calculator functions and system commands.

On my PC
On my PC, installing the Gemini app caused it to take over the [Alt] + [Space] keyboard shortcut, so it now launches Gemini instead. I’ve been using the new app for a few hours, and the shortcut is a great way to access Gemini almost instantly. It saves me from messing around with browser tabs and breaking my workflow. I love it.
The Gemini app can also connect to other Google apps, including Gmail and Drive. Provided you’re in an eligible country, such as the US or Australia, and subscribe to Google AI Pro or Google AI Ultra, you can also hand multi-step tasks over to Gemini Spark, Google’s personal AI agent. Spark is currently not available in the UK.
The app does everything the web version does, so you can create custom images with Nano Banana and even make high-quality videos with Gemini Omni from inside it.
What didn't I like about the app?
However, I’m not a fan of the way the app permanently displays your location at the bottom of the left-hand sidebar. This creates a significant privacy risk, especially if you’re using it at home. I don’t want my home address accidentally ending up in screenshots I take of my desktop, for example.
There’s no obvious way to remove your location either. All you can do is close the sidebar if you don’t want it displayed, and that’s not a great user experience.
The second thing I didn’t like was the lack of a Gemini Live experience in the app, like the one available in the mobile version on both iOS and Android. Live is Gemini’s voice mode, allowing you to talk to it much as you would a person. It can also look through your phone’s camera at the world around you, letting you ask questions about what it sees.
I can imagine that a Gemini Live experience capable of “seeing” what’s on your PC desktop and answering questions about it would be very helpful, but it looks like we’ll have to wait for that. For now you’re limited to taking screenshots, then uploading them to Gemini via the app and asking questions about what’s on them.
Google says more native desktop capabilities will roll out over time. For now, it’s the convenience of combining the Windows app with its keyboard shortcut that wins the day. I hope Google addresses my complaints in a future version, but they’re not enough to stop me choosing the app as my go-to Gemini experience instead of the web version.
If you want to try it, the Gemini app is available globally for Windows 10 and 11 users. You can download it today.
Google has officially rolled out a brand new native desktop application for its smart platform, bringing the handy tool directly to Windows machines. Instead of opening a web browser every time you need help, you can now pull up the assistant right over your active screen. It gives regular users a much faster way to […]
Polestar launched the Polestar 4 SUV today, a new body style of its compact executive electric SUV that starts at €57,900 and delivers up to 630 km of WLTP range.
The bigger news for anyone who followed the original car: unlike the Polestar 4 coupé, the SUV has an actual rear window.

Para quem possui surdez ou alguma dificuldade de audição, é possível habilitar a exibição das legendas do Gemini Live enquanto estiver usando-o no seu Mac. Veja como! 👨💻
Com o app aberto, acesse as configurações do navegador. É possível fazer isso indo até Chrome » Ajustes…, na barra de menus, usando o atalho de teclado ⌘ command, ou clicando no botão com três pontinhos (no canto superior direito).
Selecione “Inovações de IA” (na barra lateral esquerda) e entre em “Gemini no Chrome”.
Por fim, marque a chave ao lado de “Legenda descritiva”.
Na prática, você poderá conferir as legendas nas conversas do Gemini Live, como no exemplo abaixo:
Com a disponibilização do Gemini no Google Chrome para Macs, ficou muito fácil consultar o serviço de inteligência artificial da empresa para alguma atividade que precisa fazer.
Por padrão, o painel lateral do Gemini fica localizado na parte direita da tela do seu computador. Mas, se preferir, é possível que ele seja mostrado no lado esquerdo.
Com a liberação do Google Gemini no navegador Chrome para macOS, tornou-se possível utilizar a inteligência artificial da empresa de uma maneira rápida, sem precisar abrir um aplicativo separado, por exemplo.
Uma das maneiras de sair ou voltar a navegar pelo Gemini no Chrome é por meio de um atalho de teclado. Apesar de já vir com um pré-configurado, você pode alterá-lo.
Abra as configurações do Chrome, indo até Chrome » Ajustes…, na barra de menus, usando o atalho ⌘ command, ou clicando nos três pontinhos, no canto superior direito.
Selecione “Inovações de IA” e entre em “Gemini no Chrome”. Clique no lápis ao lado de “Atalho para navegação” e utilize o teclado para adicionar o novo atalho preferido.
