Those last two aspects make for a very Mac Spotlight-like experience.<\/p>\n<p class=\"anp-pro-p\">Web search includes AI Mode, with the ability to invoke Google Lens for a specific search, translate text\/images, get homework help, and more.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"anp-pro-inline-figure\" style=\"margin:1.75em auto;text-align:center;max-width:100%\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"anp-pro-inline-img\" src=\"https:\/\/innovatenews.site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Google-app-desktop-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" style=\"margin:0 auto;max-width:100%;width:auto;height:auto;object-fit:contain;object-position:center\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/figure>\n<p class=\"anp-pro-p\">There\u2019s also the ability to share your entire screen or a specific window to ask contextual questions.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"anp-pro-p\">Results open in a floating window with the ability to ask follow-up prompts.\u00a0The UI is very much aligned with the mobile Search experience.<\/p>\n<p class=\"anp-pro-p\">The Google app is now available on Windows 10+ in English around the world after previously requiring Google Labs sign-up.\u00a0You can download from: search.google\/google-app\/desktop.<\/p>\n<p class=\"anp-pro-p\">Google is framing the application as a continuation of the mobile clients that phone users are already familiar with. There\u2019s no word on macOS, but the Gemini team is working on such an application. The company rarely makes consumer desktop apps, and instead favors the browser with Progressive Web Apps.
