Gemini may soon provide a troubleshooting mode, potentially saving you a trip to the help manuals.

      Gemini has introduced a new Troubleshooting mode that provides step-by-step solutions through text responses and interactive widgets.

      Google may have inadvertently revealed its future direction for Gemini. As reported by TestingCatalog, a new Troubleshooting mode has quietly emerged in the Gemini model picker menu for select users.

      This new mode is located alongside existing options such as Gemini 3.5 Flash and 3.1 Pro, which are the standard AI models that users typically switch between in the application.

      GOOGLE 🔥: A new Troubleshooting mode has been detected in Gemini. In this mode, Gemini will guide users through the troubleshooting process using text responses and interactive widgets. While it's operational and accessible, it appears to be an unintentional release that could be reversed… https://t.co/FWQLelYXju pic.twitter.com/Y73PJb7y1e— 🚨 AI News | TestingCatalog (@testingcatalog) June 4, 2026

      What exactly does the Troubleshooting mode in Gemini do?

      Rather than presenting a large block of text, the Troubleshooting mode walks users through issues step by step, utilizing both text responses and interactive widgets.

      For instance, if you inform Gemini that your car won’t start, it might pinpoint common issues such as a dead battery and then offer you options to select symptoms, like “clicks or silent,” to help narrow down the problem more quickly. This approach is more structured and guided compared to simply asking Gemini a question in the regular chat mode.

      What distinguishes this from just asking Gemini in the traditional way?

      That’s a valid inquiry, and the difference lies in the internal tuning of the mode. Users on Reddit who received early access indicate that it operates with a lower temperature setting, meaning it remains focused on the specific problem and avoids unnecessary conversational filler.

      Reportedly, its responses prioritize diagnosis and practical solutions over general information. Google has not officially confirmed this feature, and it’s uncertain whether it is a planned rollout or simply an internal test.

      Currently, the Troubleshoot feature seems to be an unintentional release, suggesting that Google may have activated it by mistake and could retract it at any moment. Further details are anticipated in the upcoming weeks.

      If you find the new Troubleshooting mode in Gemini exciting, there's much more happening with the assistant at present. Google has recently introduced Gemini Spark, a 24/7 AI agent that manages your tasks in the background. Conversely, free users might soon encounter stricter weekly usage limitations.

      The most impressive things we encountered at Computex 2026, from space-ready motherboards to fan-cooled mice.

      The standout PC hardware for us at Computex 2026.

      Computex 2026 has concluded, and as expected, the exhibition floor was overflowing with laptops, PCs, components, peripherals, and unique gadgets that no individual could fully absorb in a few days. Among the highlights were sleek ultrabooks, enormous gaming rigs, AI-powered PCs, experimental designs, and numerous products designed primarily to attract attention.

      Several products lingered in our minds long after we left the exhibit floor. They might not have been the most practical, powerful, or significant announcements, but each possessed something remarkable. So, without any particular order, here are the coolest things we witnessed at Computex 2026.

      Microsoft has just discontinued one of the most impressive features of its Edge browser in favor of AI.

      Farewell to Collections; you were too practical for the AI era.

      No, we are not upset. *sinks into a corner, weeping*

      Microsoft is officially discontinuing Collections, one of the more distinctive productivity features in the Edge browser, and many users believe this decision reflects the company's increasing focus on AI-first experiences.

      Apple's upcoming major Mac software update could signify the end of Intel Mac support while introducing smarter Siri enhancements.

      Rumors about macOS 27 suggest that Apple is preparing to emotionally impact Intel Mac users.

      Apple's next major version of macOS may signal the beginning of the end for Intel-powered Macs while advancing into AI-driven experiences. Recent reports regarding macOS 27 suggest Apple is getting ready for substantial changes, including enhanced Siri capabilities and improvements to its controversial “Liquid Glass” design language.

      According to reports, macOS 27 may be the first version to significantly reduce or completely eliminate support for Intel-based Macs, marking the culmination of a transition that started in 2020 with the introduction of Apple Silicon chips. Although Apple has gradually shifted focus toward M-series processors over recent years, macOS 27 could be the clearest indication yet that the company is prepared to part ways with Intel hardware. This isn't entirely new information; Apple has been looking to phase out Intel-powered Macs since it launched macOS Tahoe last year.
