Google has introduced GenTabs, a next-generation AI browsing tool designed to help users perform complex tasks on the web more efficiently. The feature is part of Google Labs’ experimental browser project called “Disco,” which aims to rethink how people interact with online information (Google Labs).
What Is GenTabs?
GenTabs automatically converts your open tabs, browsing patterns, and prompts into interactive mini-apps tailored for your needs.
For example:
- Planning a trip? GenTabs can create a personalized itinerary tool.
- Studying a topic? It can turn multiple sources into a structured learning interface.
- Comparing products? It can generate a decision-making dashboard.
This helps users avoid juggling dozens of tabs, as GenTabs organizes and visualizes information based on the task at hand (TechCrunch).
How It Works
Powered by Gemini 3, GenTabs understands:
- The content inside your open tabs
- Your search intentions
- Your previous interactions
- The overall context of your task
It then builds dynamic tools that you can refine using simple natural-language instructions—no coding required. This moves browsing from passive consumption to active problem-solving.
Part of Google’s “Disco” Browser
GenTabs comes integrated with Disco, Google’s experimental browser currently available through a waitlist. Disco is built on a Chromium base but includes deep AI functionality at its core. Instead of just opening pages, Disco interprets your goals and automatically gathers relevant content, generating tools that help users complete tasks faster.
Why It Matters
GenTabs represents a major shift in how AI can enhance everyday browsing:
- Reduces information overload
- Turns complex workflows into AI-assisted experiences
- Reimagines the browser as a task engine, not just a tab viewer
This innovation hints at a future where browsers don’t just display content — they help users build solutions from it.
