## Why Split Panels Matter for Gemini Power Users

As one user asked on [r/GoogleGeminiAI](https://www.reddit.com/r/GoogleGeminiAI/comments/1f3uar2/is_there_a_way_to_talk_to_multiple_gems_in_a/): "Is there a way to talk to multiple Gems in a single session?" The answer from Google is no — Gemini only supports one active Gem per browser tab. Browser-based workarounds (opening 2 tabs, manually resizing windows) break every time you switch applications and waste an average of 5–10 seconds per context switch.

[Gemlet](/content/solutions/gemini-for-mac/index.html) solves this at the application level with native macOS split panels that persist across sessions.

### Side-by-Side Chats

Compare answers from up to 4 different Gems simultaneously. Each panel navigates independently — no tab switching required.

### Resizable Dividers

Drag the divider to allocate more space to whichever chat needs it. Gemlet remembers your layout between sessions.

## 3 Common Use Cases for Split Panels

- **Coding + Research:** Run a "Coding Expert" Gem in one panel and standard Gemini in the other. Ask implementation questions on the left while researching documentation on the right.
- **Output Comparison:** Send the same prompt to 2 different Gems and compare responses side-by-side. Useful for evaluating prompt variations or testing different personas.
- **Reference + Discussion:** Keep a long conversation thread open in one panel as a reference while starting a new focused discussion in the other.

## How to Use Split Panels in 4 Steps

1. Open [Gemlet](/content/solutions/gemini-for-mac/index.html) on your Mac.
2. Press `Cmd+K` to open the Command Palette and select "New Split Panel."  
3. Choose the chat or Gem to load in the new panel.
4. Navigate both panels independently in the same window.

**Pro Tip:** Save your panel layout as a [Workspace](/content/solutions/organize-gemini-chats/index.html) to restore your exact side-by-side setup later. Combine with [bookmarks](/content/solutions/bookmark-gemini-chats/index.html) to pin your most-used chats into each panel.
