Disco

Experimental browser generating interactive apps and tools from open tabs

Visit labs.google ↗

Disco is an experimental AI-powered browser from Google Labs designed to transform web research into custom interactive tools. Its core GenTabs feature synthesizes information across multiple open tabs into custom applications like planners, comparison tables, and trackers. It also includes an AI pointer that highlights key content, answers inline questions, and feeds data back into generated apps.

What it's for

  • Synthesize research across multiple open tabs into an interactive trip planner or comparison table
  • Generate custom meal plans and grocery lists from disparate recipe pages
  • Navigate long articles by asking questions at the cursor to highlight and auto-scroll to answers
  • Clip and organize structured information from browsing sessions into persistent interactive apps

Features

  • GenTabs: Automatically generates custom interactive web apps based on active tabs and user intent
  • AI-Enabled Pointer: On-page cursor interface providing instant contextual answers without page switching
  • Smart navigation: Auto-scrolls to relevant sections and highlights key information based on queries
  • Side panel continuity: Seamlessly transitions conversations from the cursor tool to a dedicated sidebar
  • Waitlist access: Google Labs experiment currently enrolling testers via sign-up
