Recently, Google announced the launch of an experimental browser called Disco, based on Gemini technology. The core feature of this browser, GenTabs, can instantly transform multiple open tabs in the browser into customized web applications. This innovation aims to change the traditional role of browsers, making them not just platforms for displaying information, but also productive tools that actively assist users in completing various tasks.
The GenTabs feature has a wide range of applications, covering areas such as academic research and daily life. For student users, when they have multiple tabs open about a specific subject, GenTabs can automatically generate a web application to visualize this information, helping them better understand the related knowledge. In daily scenarios, if a user is looking at multiple recipes, Disco can integrate this information and generate a personalized meal plan; when researching travel guides, the tool can help users build an interactive travel planning application.
On the technical side, GenTabs is based on the latest Google Gemini 3 model, which can not only read real-time browser information but also generate applications in real time by combining the user's chat history. Users can also fine-tune and modify the generated applications using natural language commands. Google stated that all generated content will retain links to the original information to ensure transparency and traceability of the information.
Currently, Disco is still in the early testing phase and is only available to a small number of users, with the initial version supporting only macOS. Google revealed that GenTabs is just the first feature of Disco, and more new features will be introduced in the future. Interested users can apply to join the waiting list.
