Googling describes Disco as a “discovery vehicle for Google Labs to test ideas for the future of the internet.” Like Chrome, it is built on Chromium and shares some common elements. What sets it apart, however, is the ability to build “interactive web applications” by combining information from multiple tabs, allowing users to complete tasks more efficiently.
Disco redefines browsing with GenTabs
Built with Gemini 3, Google’s most intelligent model, GenTabs can merge relevant content from open tabs and users’ Gemini chat history to create interactive web apps tailored to the task at hand. Google’s first demo shows its feature for creating a dynamic trip planner that can pull the user’s itinerary, maps, audience-level information, timelines, and general travel tips to help them organize their trip in one place instead of having to juggle multiple tabs.
It features a chat column on the left that allows users to ask additional questions or refine the web app using natural language prompts. Google says that depending on the task, the feature can “even create suggestions for generative apps” to help users get started.
GenTabs is not limited to travel-related tasks. Google’s demo also shows that it creates meal planners based on recipe tabs, garden diagrams, and even 3D models of the solar system to help the user study. Instead of making users search for every piece of information, the feature essentially lets users describe what kind of tool they need, and Disco builds it for them.
If this sounds interesting, it can join a waiting list to try out Disco on macOS. Google says the experiment will help understand what works and what doesn’t, and that Disco’s best ideas could eventually end up in Chrome.
