Features
New chat entry point
The web app opens on a New chat screen, with Images and Settings listed beside it in the main navigation.
Images section
An Images entry sits in the main navigation beside New chat, so image work has its own section of the app.
Mobile app
A Get App link on the site leads to the phone app version of Gemini for use away from the desktop browser.
Business and subscription pages
Separate Subscriptions and For Business pages are linked from the site, covering paid plans.
Google account sign-in
Sign in with Google apps sits at the top of the page, tying every Gemini chat to an existing Google account.
