Google is gearing up for the latest homepage Gemini redesign on the web, with the prompt bar seeing a big change.
This redesign starts by changing the “Hello, [name]” greeting to a generic “How can I help?” that feels a little bit less like an assistant.
The main change is moving the prompt bar from the bottom of the screen to the center. The overall design of the “Ask Gemini” field with the ‘plus’ menu and microphone at the bottom corners is unchanged.
However, there’s now a new “Tools” dropdown menu to replace the side-by-side suggestion chips. You have: Deep Research, Canvas, (amusingly) Images with Imagen, and Videos with Veo. A similar menu on mobile makes sense, but it’s a shame to not take advantage of the available screen real estate on desktop to emphasize what Gemini can do. That said, this design is much cleaner than before.

Finally, Google has moved the suggested queries to the bottom of the screen.
Visually, this is reminiscent of Google AI Studio, which got a new favicon this week that replaces the old blue butterfly. It also of course evokes the Google Search homepage.
Gemini’s web redesign is seeing limited availability today and follows the new icon.
