Why Use Gemini 1.5 Pro as a Desktop App?

Gemini 1.5 Pro, Google’s advanced AI model, is an excellent tool for handling complex queries, generating creative content, and supporting programming tasks. However, like many AI tools, it lacks a native desktop app, which can make accessing it multiple times a day cumbersome.

Using Gemini 1.5 Pro as a desktop app offers several benefits. You can save time by avoiding repeated logins or browser reloads, access the AI quickly with one click, and benefit from a more seamless workflow.

While Google hasn’t announced a native app for Gemini 1.5 Pro yet, here are a few ways you can still make it work as a desktop app on your Mac.

How to Use Gemini in an App on Your Mac?

Option 1: Using Fello AI

Fello AI offers an easy way to access Gemini 1.5 Pro from your Mac without using a web browser. Here’s how:

  1. Download and Install: Download Fello AI from the Mac App Store.
  2. Open Fello AI: No login is required.
  3. Select Gemini 1.5 Pro: In the app, choose Gemini 1.5 Pro from the list of supported AI models.
  4. Start Interacting: Once selected, you can start using Gemini 1.5 Pro directly from your desktop, without switching between different applications.

With Fello AI, you get access to Gemini 1.5 Pro alongside other top models like Claude and ChatGPT, making it a powerful multi-AI tool.

Option 2: Creating a Progressive Web App (PWA)

If you prefer not to use a third-party app, you can still turn the Gemini AI website into a desktop app-like experience through a Progressive Web App (PWA). Here’s how:

  1. Open Safari: Go to the Gemini AI website using Safari.
  2. Add to Home Screen: Click on “Add to Home Screen” to create a shortcut that functions like a desktop app.
  3. Access from Dock: Once created, you can access Gemini 1.5 Pro directly from your dock or desktop, giving you a faster way to interact with the AI without opening your browser every time.

Option 3: Waiting for the Official Gemini Desktop App

While there is no official desktop app for Gemini 1.5 Pro yet, there’s always a chance that Google will release one in the future. For now, using the Fello AI app or PWA method is the best way to streamline your experience.

How Does Gemini 1.5 Pro Compare to Other AIs?

When it comes to large language models (LLMs), Gemini 1.5 Pro is a strong contender in the field of AI. But how does it compare to other popular models like ChatGPT, Perplexity, LLaMA, and Claude? Let’s break it down.

Gemini AI vs. ChatGPT

Both Gemini AI and ChatGPT are excellent at generating creative content and holding natural conversations. However, Gemini stands out for its integration with Google’s ecosystem, making it particularly useful for tasks related to Google Docs, Sheets, or any Google-driven workflow. 

ChatGPT, on the other hand, is more versatile for general conversations and excels in long-form dialogues, making it ideal for extended creative writing or continuous interactions. If you’re heavily using Google tools, Gemini might have the edge, but for general chat-based tasks, ChatGPT is tough to beat.

Gemini AI vs. Perplexity AI

Perplexity AI focuses on search accuracy and providing credible source citations, making it a top choice for users who need research or factual information backed by references. In contrast, Gemini AI shines in creative problem-solving and open-ended tasks. 

While Perplexity is perfect for fact-checking and academic-style research, Gemini is better suited for generating creative solutions and engaging in complex problem-solving. If you need reliable data with citations, Perplexity is your go-to, but for innovative thinking, Gemini leads the way.

Gemini AI vs. LLaMA

LLaMA (by Meta) is designed to be lightweight and efficient, making it ideal for users who prioritize speed and simplicity over complex, nuanced answers. Gemini AI offers more depth, especially when tackling intricate queries or creative tasks. 

If you’re looking for fast, efficient results, LLaMA is the better choice, but for more thorough, thoughtful responses, Gemini will provide a richer experience. Essentially, Gemini trades off speed for a more sophisticated problem-solving approach.

Gemini AI vs. Claude

Claude (from Anthropic) is known for its focus on safety and ethical considerations, meaning it tends to avoid generating potentially harmful or biased content more strictly than other models. While Gemini AI also ensures content safety, its primary strength lies in generating creative, diverse responses. 

If your tasks involve sensitive topics where safety and ethics are paramount, Claude might be a better fit. But if your goal is creative problem-solving or content generation, Gemini’s broader capabilities will suit your needs.
