Google's tenth "Gemini Drops" release for April 2026 includes a native macOS app (launched April 15, available globally on macOS 15+, with an Option+Space system-wide shortcut and screen-sharing support), a new Notebooks tab that integrates NotebookLM directly into the Gemini app for project-level conversation and research management, and Personal Intelligence going global — allowing users to connect Google apps for personalized context — excluding EEA, Switzerland, UK, South Korea, Australia, and Nigeria. The update also adds in-chat 3D visualization for complex topics rendered interactively inside the conversation window.
