Google is building an experimental new browser and a new kind of web app

"The Chrome team at Google recently built a new browser. It takes a query or prompt, opens a bunch of related tabs for you, and then builds you a custom app for whatever you're trying to do. Ask it for travel tips and it'll build you a planner app; ask it for study help and it'll build you a flashcard system."

"Before we get too far: No, this is not some internal attempt to cannibalize Chrome. It started as a hackathon project inside Google, and seems to have just caught the team's imagination. "I don't think of Disco as a general-purpose browser," says Parisa Tabriz, who runs the Chrome team at Google. It can certainly open and interact with websites, but its real job is to see what happens when "people go from just having tabs to creating this very pe"

Google's Chrome team built Disco, an experimental browser that uses GenTabs to transform a user's query into multiple related tabs and then assembles a custom application tailored to the task. Disco can open and interact with websites and generate task-specific interfaces, such as travel planners or flashcard systems. Google launched Disco and GenTabs as Search Labs experiments to evaluate potential future web interactions. Disco began as a hackathon project and is not intended to replace Chrome. The project aims to explore moving users from managing many tabs to creating focused, AI-forward tools that streamline specific workflows.
