Google introduces ‘Disco,’ a new tool driven by Gemini that enables users to create web applications directly from their browser tabs

Google Unveils Disco: AI-Driven Web App Creation Tool

On Thursday, Google announced a fresh AI experiment for web browsing called Disco, powered by Gemini. This innovative tool transforms your open browser tabs into personalized applications. With Disco, users can generate what Google refers to as “GenTabs”—a feature that intelligently recommends interactive web apps tailored to your current browsing activity and enables you to craft your own apps using simple text prompts.

How GenTabs Enhances Your Browsing

Imagine you’re delving into a specific topic—GenTabs might propose building a web app to help you visualize key concepts, making it easier to grasp complex ideas.

Beyond academic uses, GenTabs can assist with everyday tasks. For example, you could compile a meal plan from various online recipes or organize a travel itinerary while researching destinations.

Seamless Integration with Gemini 3

While some AI chatbots already offer similar capabilities, GenTabs stands out by dynamically creating these tailored experiences using Gemini 3. It draws from both your current browser content and your Gemini chat history. Once your app is generated, you can further customize it through natural language instructions.

Google highlights that any generative content within GenTabs will include links back to the original sources for easy reference.

Expanding AI’s Role in Browsing

Google continues to explore ways to weave AI deeper into the web browsing experience. Rather than launching a standalone AI browser like Perplexity’s Comet or ChatGPT Atlas, Google has opted to embed its Gemini assistant directly into Chrome, allowing users to interact with web pages through AI-driven queries.

With GenTabs, the emphasis shifts from focusing solely on a single page to considering your entire browsing session across multiple tabs—whether you’re researching, learning, or pursuing other interests.

Limited Early Access and Future Prospects

Initially, Disco will be available to a select group of testers via Google Labs, who will provide feedback to refine the experience. Google notes that successful ideas developed through Disco could eventually be integrated into broader Google offerings.

GenTabs is just the beginning—Google hints that additional features will be introduced to Disco over time, with GenTabs serving as the inaugural test feature.

To try Disco, interested users must join a waitlist to download the app, which will first launch on macOS.
