Google Revamps Gemini AI Android App with Dynamic Floating Input Bar

Google is refining the user experience of its Gemini app on Android devices by transitioning from a static prompt bar to a fluid, floating pill-shaped design. This update is currently available in beta versions and aims to address user feedback regarding visual clutter. The new design condenses input options into a sleek bar that expands when the keyboard is activated, hiding some tools behind a ‘+’ menu to streamline interactions. The redesign reflects Google’s commitment to making AI interactions more intuitive and aligns with broader trends in minimalism among AI interfaces. Additionally, the update could influence third-party integrations and may be part of a strategy to fully replace Google Assistant with Gemini by 2026. User reactions to the redesign are mixed, with some expressing excitement over the modern look while others are concerned about hidden features complicating usability.

Gemini is working to clean up how it handles Canvas previews (APK teardown)

Google has been refining its Gemini platform for over a year, introducing enhancements such as Canvas for document creation and code editing. Currently, users generating web code with Canvas are redirected to a separate Chrome custom tab for previews. However, an APK teardown of the Google Android app version 16.26.64.sa.arm64 indicates that Google is working on allowing code previews directly within the Gemini app, which would streamline the workflow and reduce navigation issues. This change aims to provide a more cohesive user experience, although the mobile interface may still be less expansive than the web version.

I love Steam Link, but this new streaming app is better in every way

Razer's Nexus app is a new alternative to Steam Link for local game streaming, featuring remote play functionality that requires the installation of both the Nexus app and the Razer Cortex app on the desktop. The setup process takes about five minutes, slightly longer than Steam Link. The Nexus app is based on Moonlight, an open-source streaming software, and offers enhanced performance by automatically adjusting settings for high-refresh-rate displays. It works well with PC Game Pass titles but has limitations with non-Steam games, which may require manual control adjustments. Users must create an account, and the app promotes paid games and includes display ads. Alternatives like Artemis/Apollo exist but require more complex installation.
