This year, we saw tech giants like Google, OpenAI, Perplexity, and others launch AI-powered browsers or integrate their chatbots into existing ones. But in a surprising turn of events, the Chrome team at Google unveiled a new Gemini 3-powered browser called Disco, which it says is “designed to reimagine browsing and building for the modern web.”
Unlike traditional browsers, which let you browse the internet, Google Disco uses GenTabs, a tool that takes a query or prompt as input, opens tabs related to it, and creates a custom app for whatever you are trying to do. For example, if you ask Disco for travel tips, it will automatically build a planner app. It can also come in handy for students who are trying to study a particular subject, as GenTabs will build an app that visualises the information and helps them understand the concept.
In case you are wondering, these things are also possible with AI chatbots like ChatGPT, Gemini and more, but the thing that makes Google Disco stand out is that it generates personalised experiences on the go using Gemini 3 by pulling the information from your browser and chat history. Google says that once Disco builds an app, it can be fine-tuned using natural language prompts and that GenTabs will also link back to the source.
Google says those who want to try out Disco will have to join the waitlist from the Google Labs page, and the app is only available on macOS. The tech giant adds that ideas originating from Disco may someday find their way to other Google products, but it is still unclear as of now if Disco will be available to the general public.
