This month, Google launched a Gemini-powered AI experiment, Disco, that turns browser tabs into web apps.
Users can create what Google calls “GenTabs,” which suggest web apps to visualize information more effectively.
These outcomes can already be achieved with chatbots, but GenTabs builds them on the fly using Gemini 3, using the browser and chat history.
Instead of building its own stand-alone AI browser, like Perplexity’s Comet or ChatGPT Atlas, Google has integrated its AI assistant, Gemini, into the Chrome browser, where it can be optionally used to ask questions about the web.
The “GenTabs” feature will initially be available only to a small number of testers through Google Labs, who will offer feedback about the experience.
To access Disco, there is a waitlist.
