Google Unveils Disco, an AI Browser That Transforms Prompts Into Custom Web Apps AI

Google Unveils Disco, an AI Browser That Transforms Prompts Into Custom Web Apps Google has launched Disco, an experimental AI-powered browser built on its latest Gemini 3 model, aimed at redefining how users interact with the web by turning natural-language prompts and browsing context into custom mini applications.

This initiative marks a strategic shift in traditional browsing, blending generative artificial intelligence with web exploration to support complex online tasks. Unlike conventional browsers Disco uses an innovative feature called GenTabs which analyses a user’s open tabs, previous searches, and written prompts to generate interactive, task-focused web apps tailored to specific needs. For example, users planning travel can prompt Disco to assemble a dynamic itinerary complete with maps, calendars, and relevant links, all organised within a unified interface.

This approach aims to reduce the cognitive load of juggling multiple tabs across different sites. Built on the Chromium platform, Disco retains familiar browser fundamentals while embedding AI utilities directly into the experience. Users interact with Disco through a chat-style sidebar, where natural-language prompts initiate the creation and refinement of generated apps.These GenTabs remain interactive and link back to their original web sources, ensuring transparency and continuity.

The browser is currently available in early testing via a waitlist on macOS, with Google positioning Disco as an experimental project through Google Labs. While the long-term public availability remains uncertain, successful features from Disco particularly GenTabs may influence future enhancements across Google’s broader suite of products.
