  "account": "Google is rumored to be working on an updated version of Google Gemini's overlay, which may offer more features and improvements for users. According to leaks, a future version of the overlay could include a Chat/Task selector directly within the interface, allowing users to easily switch between different tasks. Additionally, the updated overlay may feature dedicated buttons to view recent Gemini conversations and enable Proactive Assistance.\n\nFurthermore, the app may introduce a new Browser option in the settings, enabling users to easily switch between remote browser and Chrome on the device for Gemini Spark tasks. The current Google Gemini overlay allows users to activate Gemini Live and access the plus menu, but there are indications that more features are being added to the interface.\n\nIn June, a leak revealed an Agent Dashboard button within the plus menu, providing immediate access to recent chats. Earlier this month, it was reported that Google may bring Gemini Spark to the overlay. Both of these upcoming features, along with the new enhancements mentioned above, are now confirmed to be in progress.",
