How To Install Google Gemini As App In Windows 10/11

The field of artificial intelligence is constantly evolving, and all software giants are developing their own AI tools.

Ever since the first release of OpenAI’s ChatGPT, several large language model chatbots have been released. Microsoft is already offering its AI tool called Copilot. The latest entry to the market is Google Gemini.

Google Gemini gives you access to Google AI. With a Google/Gmail account, you can access and use Google Gemini to get answers to your questions, create images, and do more.

So far, Google has released an official app for its Android operating system. Other than the app for Android, there is no app for other desktop and smartphone operating systems.

While you can always access and use Google Gemini in a web browser, just like Google search, you might want to install the Google Gemini app so that you can access it easily.

As said, no official Google Gemini app is available for Windows 10 or 11. That said, there is a way through which you can install Google Gemini as an app and pin it to the taskbar so that you can access it quickly and easily.

This guide shows you how to use Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge to install Google Gemini as an app on Windows 10 and Windows 11 computers.
