Google Gemini has no official application for Windows yet, but you can install it as a PWA (Progressive Web Application) and launch it from your Windows 11 or 10 Start Menu and taskbar. It will bring the same feel and functionality as a native application. No more need to open your browser to access Google’s AI-powered chatbot, Gemini.
Once you install the Gemini app on your Windows 11 or 10 computer, you can move it around the screen, resize, or use it in full-screen mode, just like any other Windows app. Installing the Gemini app using the Microsoft Edge browser is easy, just like installing the Windows Copilot PWA app. Google Chrome users can also install the Gemini app using Chrome’s new Universal Web App install feature.
