Gemini 3 and GenTabs: Google Introduces “Disco” — an Experimental Browser That Generates Web Apps on the Fly

Google has released an experimental browser called Disco. This project is not positioned as a replacement for Chrome, but rather as a separate platform.

About GenTabs and On-Demand Mini Apps

The key feature of Google Disco is the GenTabs tool. It uses advanced Gemini 3 models to create interactive applications and automatically gather relevant information based on a user’s text prompt.

The Gemini 3 models in Disco are capable of creating full-fledged interfaces based on task descriptions. Chrome team lead Parisa Tabriz clarified that Disco is a tool designed to eliminate the need to manage dozens of tabs, offering instead task-specific mini applications.

How It Works

During the demonstration, the team showed how GenTabs can be used. For example, a user is planning a trip to Japan. They create a new “project” in Disco and enter a prompt in the chat. Instead of returning a list of links, the browser generates a set of context-related tabs and creates an interactive trip planner. Such a GenTab planner can include an integrated calendar, maps, city recommendations, and historical landmarks — all of which the user can interact with.

The Goal of Disco

Disco is built on the Chromium engine, preserving the familiar tab layout. This allows the browser to be used for a wide range of tasks, such as creating meal plans or building interactive models (for example, a 3D model of the Solar System).

Everything generated by Disco is based on web data, so the browser clearly indicates data sources. Google explains that the main goal of Disco is to simplify navigation in the modern internet.
