GOOGLE 🔥: Gemini Desktop will have a "Full Access" permission for computer use, allowing it to access any file and run any app on your desktop.

A new "Additional sandbox options" setting has been added to the recent Gemini Desktop app (Still hidden).

"By enabling additional sandbox options, you will be able to expand what Gemini can do and access on your Mac. Depending on which settings you enable, Gemini may be permitted to take actions without asking for your permission first, including:

• Reading, creating, modifying, or deleting files anywhere on your Mac, including files outside your connected folders and files belonging to other people stored on your device
• Sending and receiving data over the network without your approval for each connection, including accessing websites, APIs, and services you are logged into
• Communicating with other applications on your Mac (such as Mail, Safari, or Messages) and performing actions through them."

Gemini will still ask user permission before purchasing products, creating accounts, accepting legal terms, or modifying sensitive information about you.

It is very likely that computer use features are expected to be powered by Gemini 4.

Soon? 👀
