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

Google's Chrome team has developed Disco, an experimental browser that uses AI to create custom web apps based on user queries. When prompted with requests like travel planning or study help, Disco opens relevant web tabs and generates interactive "GenTabs" - mini-applications that combine information from those sources into tools like trip planners or flashcard systems. The browser encourages users to actively browse websites rather than just chat with AI, creating a cycle where both AI suggestions and user-selected content inform the generated apps.
