Google’s Magic Pointer is coming to Gemini in Chrome | Infinium-tech
One of the biggest announcements from yesterday’s Google Android Show I/O Edition event was the brand new Googlebook laptop lineup, which will essentially replace Chromebooks.
The main feature of the Googlebook is the Magic Pointer, which allows users to bring up Google Gemini by moving their cursor around on the screen. Once the Magic Pointer is activated, it brings up several contextual AI features that can read your screen and use Gemini AI to complete tasks without having to go to a separate tab or app.
Google showed off writing assistance, content summaries, calendar entries, and image editing in the keynote, and now we have confirmation that the Magic Pointer will soon be available inside the desktop version of Gemini in Chrome.
Google has not yet confirmed the actual rollout schedule, but it may limit the initial rollout to English-speaking countries, as it has done with other new features in the past. There is also the option to remain locked under one of the Magic Pointer AI subscription plans. We’ll be sure to let you know more when any details emerge.
