Google launched a native Gemini App for macOS back in April, allowing users to access its features in a more efficient and productive way on their Mac.
Yesterday, Google added support for Gemini Spark in its macOS app for AI Ultra subscribers, introducing the ability for it to extend its capabilities beyond your chat window.
As shared by Google,
“Gemini Spark can now move beyond the chat window, and tackle the heavy lifting across your desktop files and apps. For example, you can turn hours of manual file sorting into an instant action by asking Gemini Spark to sort all the PDFs in your Downloads into specific folders. Gemini Spark also connects your desktop and Google Workspace, so you can simply ask it to create a budget spreadsheet using the latest invoices saved to your computer, and create a schedule to update it regularly. To keep your information secure, Gemini Spark only has access to the files you give it permission to use.”
There’s one more feature coming, apart from the ability to sort your files. In the next few weeks, Gemini Spark will also be able to connect to Google apps and services such as Google Tasks and Google Keep, along with third-party services such as Canva, Dropbox, Zillow Rentals, and more. Moreover, Google is also adding support for Model Context Protocol (MCP) to Spark.
Unfortunately, Gemini Spark is only available for Google AI Ultra subscribers in the U.S., which costs $99.99/mo for additional usage and 20TB of cloud storage.
If this is your first time installing Gemini on your Mac, here are the requirements:
- A Mac running macOS Sequoia 15 or later
- 8 GB of RAM or more
- 200MB of Free Disk Space for Installation
- A stable internet connection, as the app still needs to access its servers for Gemini features
