  • Logan Kilpatrick said Google is making a "huge investment" in a Gemini App UX 2.0 redesign to address usability gaps.
  • He also confirmed a native Gemini client for macOS is in development, though no release date has been announced.
  • Android users are seeing incremental updates including a refreshed homepage, darker dark mode, vertical action chips for features like image generation and Deep Research, and a new My Stuff hub for past outputs.
  • Google is building a mobile Google AI Studio app for iPhone and Android, internally called Build Anything, with the launch described as some time off.
