## Gemini comes to Windows
Google launched a desktop Gemini app for Windows 10 and 11, available globally today at gemini.google/desktop.

> Today, we're launching the Gemini app for Windows.
## Alt + Space opens it
Press Alt + Space and Gemini appears over whatever you are doing. Fact-check a document or get title ideas, then drop back into the work.

> Press Alt + Space on your PC at any time to open Gemini over your active work.
## A workspace for deep work
The app carries everything Gemini already does, including handing multi-step jobs to Gemini Spark, the 24/7 personal agent.
## It reads your Google apps
Ask for a project summary and Gemini pulls the details straight from Gmail and Google Drive instead of making you paste them in.
## Images and video too
Generate custom images with Nano Banana for a presentation, or direct a video with Gemini Omni, without leaving the desktop app.

> Bring creative concepts to life directly from your desktop.
## Light enough to leave open
Google says the app runs quietly in the background without slowing the PC, and more native desktop features are coming.

> Lightweight and quiet, the app runs without slowing down your PC.
## Key takeaway

Alt + Space opens Gemini on top of your current window, so you can ask something and get straight back to work.
