Google prepares Gemini App for Avatars, Plugins, and Gemini 4

Google is adding avatar creation and new response widgets to the Gemini desktop app.

A hidden Customize section points to expanded app and plugin discovery, potentially including MCP-based connectors.

After canceling Gemini 3.5 Pro, Google appears to be preparing Gemini 4 internally, with a possible launch later this year.

The updates signal a push to make Gemini a richer desktop AI workspace with broader tool integrations and interactions.
