Is Google about to unleash autonomous Gemini agents on Apple Macs?
Google is reportedly experimenting with permissions that would let Gemini reach much deeper into a user’s Mac, potentially allowing the AI to work across local data, software and online services with less frequent human approval. TestingCatalog alleged it uncovered experimental controls inside the Gemini desktop app, including references to
