Google adds persistent Gemini button to Chromebook Plus system tray

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Google has introduced a persistent Gemini button to the system tray on Chromebook Plus devices. This update, rolling out with ChromeOS M148, allows users to access the Gemini in Chrome side panel system-wide, detached from the browser window. The floating panel remains accessible even when switching between native applications or PWAs, and it intelligently re-anchors to the active browser tab when returning to Chrome. AI

IMPACT Enhances user experience for Gemini on Chromebooks, making the AI assistant more accessible across different applications.
