Our guide to the official Google Gemini app

The official app for Gemini is here – and we couldn’t be more excited to dive in. Here’s what you need to know about how it works, what to consider, and how to get the most out of this innovative new app.

Tap the “Get started” button and agree to the Terms of Service to use Gemini with ease. Start a prompt by typing, talking, or sharing a photo to get help with writing, brainstorming, learning and more. Summarize and find quick info from Gmail or Google Drive, or make plans with Google Maps and Google Flights – let your imagination run wild!

If you’re not sure what to ask, Gemini offers prompts like “Brainstorm team bonding activities for a work retreat” and “Suggest beautiful places to see on a road trip.” You can edit these premade prompts to deliver results customized to your needs.

Like with any research, you’ll want to double-check the information before you publish or use it professionally. Tap the thumbs up and thumbs down icons to provide feedback, and try the integrated Google search feature to browse related topics and results. Avoid sharing sensitive info, since your inputs help to train and improve the AI.

Context is key, so be specific about what you’re interested in. If you need some tweaks, you can tap the three-dot menu to modify Gemini's response with shorter, longer, simpler, more casual, or more professional options.

You can also share or copy the results directly, or export them right into your Google Doc, Gmail, or a public link if you want to share the response with your friends.

Finally, add your Gemini app icon to your home screen or just say “Hey Google” to get assistance even faster.
