Disco powers itself with GenTabs, one of the news-featured features powered by the amazing Gemini 3 framework. As a result, it fuels personalized experiences automatically and in the moment. It achieves these more personalized results by pulling information from the user’s web activity and history on Gemini chats. This new creative method makes it clear that Disco can truly take user experiences to the next level. It might pave the way for broader use cases across Google’s ecosystem down the line.
Disco’s first public testing round will take place in Google Labs. These power users will give the feature a real workout and provide qualitative feedback. This feedback will be absolutely essential in improving Disco before it’s released to a broader audience.
