Gemini 4 Argon reaches Google AI Pro subscribers, and it promises to hedge less, which is more than most meetings manage

What is Gemini 4 Argon in the Gemini app?

Gemini 4 Argon is Google's newest and most capable model, and it is now available in the Gemini app for Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers.

Google says it answers more directly, hedges less, repeats itself less and skips the clichés. On longer jobs it reports its progress more often, so you aren't left staring at a spinning wheel wondering whether it's working or just thinking about lunch.

What else changed, and who gets it?

The Gemini app now has a toggle in the main chat window that switches from chat to tasks. In tasks mode Gemini can keep working on a job across your Google apps while you're away from your computer. Google says AI Pro and Ultra subscribers can use Argon and give Gemini tasks.

Gemini also connects to more than 40 apps, including Instacart, OpenTable, Adobe and Shopify. Most of those connected apps are in English in the US for now, with selected apps in other English-speaking countries, so check what shows up for you in Australia. Google's Antigravity coding agent is now built into the Gemini Mac app too, though 9to5Google reports Antigravity access needs AI Ultra.

Should your business use it?

Businesses already paying for Google AI Pro should try Gemini 4 Argon on real work, because it costs nothing extra to find out whether it's better at your jobs.

Pick something you'd normally do by hand, like summarising a long supplier contract or turning scattered notes into a proposal outline, and compare it with what you got before. Try tasks mode on something low stakes first.

My take: a model that hedges less is welcome, but a confident answer can still be wrong. Check anything with a number in it. Fewer clichés is a good start, and frankly a higher bar than some of my own emails.
