Google has launched Google Disco, an experimental AI browser designed to change how people use the internet. Disco has been developed by Google's Chrome team and is based on the revolutionary Gemini 3 LLM model. It's not just a regular browser. The browser comes with unique features called GenTabs that can generate web applications based on users' demands, collecting useful data like open browser tabs and chat history.
What is GenTabs?
GenTabs in Google Disco is a unique feature. GenTabs operates by opening several tabs linked with prompts, such as scheduling a project, planning a vacation or doing research. From that, it collects the data into a straightforward, useful tool built into the app.
For example, if someone requests a travel recommendation, Disco might easily make a customised trip planner. GenTabs can create an interactive learning tool that demonstrates a science concept with facts and logic if students need assistance understanding it.
Although ChatGPT and Gemini, two common AI chatbots can provide similar information but Disco takes it one step ahead. By generating a customised, interactive experience that completely depends on the requirements of the users.

How does GenTabs work?
Disco's capacity to build these apps by using context from a user's browser history or past discussions is one of its most remarkable features, allowing it to generate a highly customisable experience.
GanTabs guarantees that all sources stay available by connecting back to the original tabs. Once it is generated, users can further customise the apps, giving directions in human language.

Google is currently experimenting with Disco. The browser is currently usable only with macOS devices, and interested users must sign up for a waitlist through the Google Labs page. It's not clear whether the web browser itself will be publicly available to the general public or not, but Google has hinted that some of Disco's concepts may find their way into other products.
