Google has begun private beta testing of a dedicated Gemini AI Mac app, aiming
to compete with OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Anthropic’s Claude. The early version,
code-named Janus, lets testers generate images, videos, music, tables, charts,
perform math and analysis, and access past conversations. A Desktop Intelligence
feature allows Gemini to pull data from Mac programs for personalized responses.
The app is currently in private testing, with no release date announced.
