Gemini debuted a few years ago, and since then, Google has launched several generative AI apps for various tasks. Its latest addition is Disco, meant to explore how AI can adapt to changing web browsing trends and find a solution to the "frustration of juggling dozens of open tabs to research a topic or plan a trip."
Disco is a new Google Labs experimental app, whose name is derived from the word "Discovery." GenTabs is the first feature under the experiment to create custom apps based on your prompt and the topic you"re trying to research, Google explained in a blog post.
Among various tasks, GenTabs lets you create meal plans, trip itineraries, or help school kids grasp science concepts. You can get started by typing a prompt or pasting a link into the chat field to pull relevant web URLs from the internet.
You can ask follow-up questions to continue the research and create a GenTabs custom app when prompted in the Disco interface. The custom app is present as a new tab in the Disco interface, where you can interact with different elements, add recommendations, and add custom updates without writing a single line of code.
"GenTabs helps you navigate the web by proactively understanding your complex tasks (through your open tabs and chat history) and creating interactive web applications to help you complete the tasks," Google said. The feature is powered by Google"s latest generative AI model, Gemini 3.
Early access to Disco and GenTabs is available to a small cohort of macOS users who must sign up for the waitlist. Note that the user must be 18 years or older and based in the US to apply for the waitlist.
Just as it has happened in the past, Google said the most compelling features from the Disco experiment might become full-blown Google products in the future. However, it cautioned that Disco and GenTabs are still in early stages and not everything will work perfectly.
This is not the first time Google has added interactive features powered by Gemini. Just recently, it updated the Gemini app with new learning features and the ability to generate interactive science diagrams.
