TL;DR

Strings in the latest Google app for Android reveal Google could soon allow users to control and run tasks on their Mac via the mobile Gemini app.

The feature appears to be tied to Gemini Spark, Google’s 24/7 AI agent, and expands on a promise to bring local file handling and workflow automation to macOS.

Code hints at a dedicated device picker for managing multiple online computers, alongside real-time status-tracking features such as “last seen” and availability states.

AI agents are all the rage these days. Many people find the idea of letting AI run digital errands for them appealing, but they also wish for ways to keep an eye on the AI agent working on their computer from their phone. Last month, OpenAI introduced the ability to monitor Codex’s work on laptops, dev boxes, and remote environments through the ChatGPT mobile app. Google could also soon introduce the same, allowing users to control Gemini on their desktop/laptop through the phone app.
