Google Disco is a new browser featuring GenTabs, the latest experiment from Google Labs, and it was developed to "reimagine browsing and building for the modern web."
GenTabs help web browsers better navigate the web by proactively understanding complex tasks via open tabs and chat history, and creating interactive web applications to streamline task completion. Already, users are making the most of GenTabs as they plan a week's worth of meals, sightseeing trips out of the country and learn about the world around them. GenTabs are generated based on specific tabs and specific goals, and Disco users only need to describe the tool they need and refine it with natural language.
The waitlist to try Disco and GenTabs is opening, beginning on macOS.
