The tagline reads, 'Designed for Gemini Intelligence.'
In announcing the Googlebook, which is designed for Gemini Intelligence, Google particularly emphasizes the 'cursor.' They state that 'the cursor is the most frequently used tool on laptops, yet it hasn't changed much since the addition of the right-click function.' The Googlebook introduces a tool called 'Magic Pinter,' which will allow Gemini to make contextual suggestions and complete tasks simply by moving the cursor.
Furthermore, Googlebooks includes a 'Create Widget' feature that allows users to create custom widgets simply by following the prompts. Gemini allows users to create personalized dashboards through internet searches and integration with Google apps such as Gmail and Calendar.
Furthermore, Google states that because Googlebooks are 'built on part of the Android technology stack,' they aim to ensure that users' workflows are not interrupted when switching between their laptops and smartphones. Specifically, this means that users will be able to easily access files on their smartphones from the Googlebooks file browser.
The teaser video also included the message 'Open your phone apps' along with footage of users mirroring their smartphones to a Google Book.
As of the time of writing, the price, release date, and detailed specifications of the Googlebook have not been revealed. While it's possible the OS will be 'Aluminium OS,' which is currently under development and based on Android, this is also unknown at the time of writing.
