Google has added the ability to branch chats within the Gemini app.
This allows you to take an existing conversation and explore different possibilities without having one long run-on chat window. Gemini will keep your conversation up until the point where you branch it, and then create a second conversation so that you can talk about option A in one chat and option B in a different chat.
To use the feature, you will need an existing chat with at least one response from Gemini.
At the end of the response, there will be a vertical ellipsis (3 dots):
From the menu this pops up, select Branch in new chat (usually at the top):
Now you will have a new chat in your list that starts with “Branch “ followed by the original chat’s name:
That’s it. Now you can take the 2 chats in completely different directions. If you need more than two, just branch again.
It’s a straightforward implementation of a powerful feature.
Have fun…
