What to know
- Disco uses Gemini 3 to generate interactive web apps, called GenTabs, from your open Chrome tabs.
- GenTabs can visualize research, build planners, organize information, and adapt through natural language refinement.
- The feature links generated content back to its original sources and integrates with your browser and Gemini history.
- Disco is currently limited to early testers through Google Labs, with macOS access available via waitlist.
Google just unveiled Disco, a new AI experiment designed to extend the role of Gemini inside the Chrome browser. Instead of acting as a standalone assistant or chatbot, Disco transforms the browsing experience by analyzing the content of your open tabs and turning them into interactive applications called GenTabs.
Disco interprets browsing across multiple tabs rather than a single page, enabling it to understand broader user intent. Whether you are learning a subject, reviewing recipes, or planning travel, the system identifies patterns and proposes web apps that help streamline the task. These apps are generated on demand using Gemini 3, pulling context from both your active tabs and your previous Gemini interactions.
The generated GenTabs remain traceable, with each interactive component linking back to its original sources. After creation, users can iterate further using natural language commands, refining the interface, adjusting functionality, or expanding features without traditional coding.
Google has been gradually weaving AI deeper into the browser experience, integrating Gemini into Chrome rather than building a separate AI browser. Disco pushes this integration further by treating the browser itself as a foundation for live app creation.
The experiment is initially available only to a small group of testers through Google Labs, with macOS support launching first. Google notes that GenTabs is just the first feature inside Disco, with additional capabilities expected in future releases. Concepts that prove successful within Disco may ultimately be incorporated into larger Google products.
Users who want early access can join the waitlist to download Disco and participate in testing as the tool evolves.
