    Visual layout uses multimodal capabilities to move beyond text, generating a visually immersive response with photos and interactive modules. These elements solicit your feedback and help you further customize Gemini’s response across multiple turns. Try asking Gemini to “plan a 3-day trip to Rome next summer,” and you’ll get a visual itinerary you can actually explore and customize based on what interests you.

    Dynamic view takes this a step further using agentic coding capabilities. Gemini will design and code a unique experience with a user interface that’s perfect for your specific prompt. For example, ask Gemini to “explain the Van Gogh Gallery with life context for each piece,” and you'll get a stunning, interactive response that lets you tap, scroll, and learn. Or, try uploading a photo of you and ask for fashion advice.

    We’re rolling out these Labs features to different subsets of users. Some users can expect to see visual layout or dynamic view in the tool menu of the Gemini app soon.

Additionally, it can use live web browsing capabilities to research and take action on the web as part of completing your task.

    Gemini Agent is designed to get your confirmation before taking any critical actions, like sending an email or making a purchase, and you can always pause or take over at any time.

  • Why: We want to make Gemini the most helpful AI assistant for everyone. This is a first step towards building a true generalist agent that can navigate the complexities of your daily tasks from start to finish, while still keeping you in control.
