Google has debuted ‘Disco’, a Gemini-powered tool for creating web applications from browser tabs

Google on Thursday introduced a new AI experience for the web browser: its Gemini-powered Disco product, which helps turn open tabs into personalized apps. With Disco, you can create what Google calls “GenTabs,” a tool that proactively suggests interactive web apps that can help you complete tasks related to what you’re browsing and allows you to build your own apps via written prompts.

For example, if you are studying a particular topic, GenTabs may suggest creating an information visualization web application, which may help you better understand the underlying principles.

Or, in a less academic scenario, you can use GenTabs to help you create a meal plan from a series of online recipes or help you plan a trip when you’re looking to travel.

These are things you can already do today with some AI-powered chatbots, but GenTabs is quickly building these personalized experiences with Gemini 3, using information in your browser and in your Gemini chat history. After creating the app, you can also continue to improve it using natural language commands.

Google notes that the generative elements generated in the GenTabs experience will link back to the original sources.

Like others in the AI ​​market, Google has been experimenting with bringing AI deeper into the web browsing experience. Instead of creating its own standalone AI browser, like Perplexity’s Comet or ChatGPT Atlas, Google has integrated its Gemini AI assistant into Chrome, where it can optionally be used to ask questions about the webpage you’re browsing.

With GenTabs, the focus is not just on what you’re currently watching, but also on comprehensive browsing spanning multiple tabs – be it research, learning, or something else.

However, the feature will initially only be available to a small number of testers through Google Labs, who will provide feedback on the experience. The company says interesting ideas developed through Disco may one day find their way into other, larger Google products.

He also notes that GenTabs will be one of many Disco features that will come over time, noting that GenTabs is the “first feature” being tested.

To access Disco, users will need to join a waitlist to download the app, starting with macOS.
