| 🐧 **Linux** | 🚧 Coming Soon | AppImage, .deb, and .rpm packages |

> **Note:** Currently, only Windows builds are available. macOS and Linux builds are coming soon! 🚀

### 🔧 Installation Instructions

#### Windows
1. Download the installer
2. Run the installer
3. Follow the setup wizard
4. Launch from Start Menu or Desktop shortcut

#### macOS & Linux
These platforms are currently under development. You can still run the app from source code (see [Development](#-development) section below) or wait for the official releases coming soon!

## 🚀 Quick Start

1. **Launch the Application**
   - Use your desktop shortcut or application menu
   - Or use the system tray icon for quick access

2. **Set Up Hotkeys** (Optional)
   - Open Settings from the tray menu
   - Configure global hotkeys for drawer and main window
   - Customize voice mode hotkey (default: `Ctrl+Shift+V`)
   - Save your preferences

3. **Start Using Gemini AI**
   - The app loads Google's Gemini official website (gemini.google.com)
   - Use drawer for quick queries
   - Switch to full mode for extended conversations
   - You can also open it in full screen mode (click F11)

4. **Voice Mode** 🎤
   - Press your voice mode hotkey (default: `Ctrl+Shift+V`) to activate hands-free mode
   - Speak your question - the app will automatically detect when you're done
   - Your speech will be converted to text and sent to Gemini
   - The response will be read aloud using text-to-speech
   - Perfect for hands-free interaction while working on other tasks

## 🎤 Voice Mode

The Voice Mode feature provides a completely hands-free way to interact with Gemini AI using speech-to-text and text-to-speech capabilities.

> **FYI**: This feature uses Gemini's original built-in speech-to-text (STT) and text-to-speech (TTS) functionality - no additional services or APIs required!

### How It Works

1. **Activation**: Press the voice mode hotkey (default: `Ctrl+Shift+V`)
2. **Voice Recording**: The app automatically starts recording your voice
3. **Smart Detection**: Automatically detects when you've finished speaking (2-second pause)
4. **Auto-Send**: Converts your speech to text and sends it to Gemini
5. **Audio Response**: Gemini's response is automatically read aloud using text-to-speech
