Google’s Disco: Revolutionizing Browsing with AI
GenTabs: Building Custom Apps from Your Tabs
Tech News, 13 December, 2025: Google has launched Disco, an experimental AI-powered browser from Google Labs. It’s built on Chromium and uses the Gemini 3 AI model. Instead of just showing static web pages, it creates custom interactive apps based on your tasks.
Key Feature: GenTabs (Generated Tabs)
- How it works: Disco scans your open tabs and Gemini chat history to understand your goal (like trip planning, research, or meal prep). It then builds a personalized web app right in the browser.
- Examples:
| Task | What GenTabs Creates |
|---|---|
| Trip Planning | Map with pins, itinerary builder, calendar |
| Heart Structure Research | Interactive dashboard with diagrams and quizzes |
| Meal Planning | Grid with recipes, shopping lists, nutrition info |
- Refinement: Use simple commands like “Add weather to the calendar” or “Switch to timeline view” to tweak it.
- Transparency: Every element links back to original websites for verification.
Why Disco Matters
It challenges AI browsers like ChatGPT Atlas or Perplexity Comet by turning the browser into a task-building tool, not just a chatbot. Features may integrate into Chrome later.
How to Access It
- Limits: US residents only via waitlist; macOS desktop for now.
