Google Labs Launches Disco, an AI Browser That Turns Tabs Into Custom Apps

Testing begins on macOS via waitlist with a small cohort of users.

Overview

  • GenTabs, powered by Gemini 3, analyzes open tabs and Gemini chat history to generate interactive, no‑code web apps tailored to a task.
  • Each generative component links back to its original web sources for verification and context.
  • Access is limited to early testers through Google Labs, with Disco initially available on macOS.
  • Disco is built on Chromium and, according to Chrome leadership, is not intended as a general‑purpose replacement for Chrome.
  • Coverage highlights open questions about data handling, model accuracy, and potential impacts on publisher traffic, while Google says successful ideas may graduate to products like Chrome.
