testingcatalog · x · 2026-09-24
TestingCatalog details the latest Gemini desktop update: trusted testers are getting a new Tasks mode (switchable with Chat), and Tasks includes a Gemini Live entry point—suggesting users could one day direct Computer Use via real-time voice.
Key points:
- Computer Use gains allowed/disallowed app lists for finer control;
- A folder-to-Gemini-project option is entering trusted testing;
- Gemini 3.8 Live (Sept 15) adds asynchronous function calling and task execution during dialogue, a natural fit;
- The Windows app just launched publicly this month; a production rollout may still take weeks;
- Gemini 4 rumors continue to circulate.
