But today, Google officially launches Gemini 3, its most powerful and capable AI model to date, along with a completely redesigned Gemini app and next-generation features for Search’s AI Mode. The launch is one of Google’s largest updates in the AI era, bringing more autonomy, stronger reasoning, and a richer visual experience across its ecosystem. From creative workflows to complex decision-making, Gemini 3 is positioned to be a full “thought partner”—not just a chatbot.
More Capable and Intelligent Gemini Model
At its core is Gemini 3 Pro, with more advanced modes, such as Deep Think, coming soon. Google says Gemini 3 delivers major leaps in reasoning, multimodal understanding, and task planning. It’s better at analyzing text, images, charts, and complicated workflows—and it’s designed to execute more steps on its own, making it significantly more “agentic” than earlier versions.
The new Deep Think mode, which starts to roll out gradually for safety evaluation, is for when extremely complex reasoning is required. Google also emphasizes major improvements in the areas of safety: better protection against prompt manipulation, less biased output, and improved factual accuracy.
Introducing a Newly Redesigned Gemini App
As part of the model upgrade, the Gemini app itself has been redesigned from the ground up. The new UI is clean, modern, and designed around versatility. Google wants Gemini to feel like a productivity hub instead of just a chat window.
Key additions include:
1. The “My Stuff” Library
Users now can store all their AI-generated items, from images, videos, and summaries to lesson plans, itineraries, and comparison charts, in one place. This makes Gemini work more like a personal digital studio.
2. Shopping Integration With Google’s Shopping Graph
Searching within Gemini for products is now more powerful. Users will see product listings, prices, comparison modules, and insights integrated directly into the conversation, making it even more like a smart shopping assistant.
3. Support for Interactive Layouts
This allows information to be presented in a much more visual, dynamic manner. This will lead into the biggest breakthrough with Gemini 3: Generative Interfaces.
Generative Interfaces: A New Way to Interact With AI
Gemini 3 introduces two types of experimental interfaces beyond just plain text:
• Visual Layout
A magazine-like layout that dynamically lays out information through images, cards, sliders, or mini-modules. This might mean that a user asking for a “3-day Paris travel plan” gets a card-style, map-and-image-filled itinerary, complete with accordion-expanded sections.
• Dynamic View
Gemini leverages improved coding capabilities to create a highly customized UI from scratch. Ask it to “build a Van Gogh gallery explorer,” and Gemini can build an interactive interface featuring clickable artworks and contextual notes, all coded by the model.
It’s worth noting that users might only see one of these options since Google is A/B testing during the rollout.
This is a major evolution for generative AI, moving from only being able to answer questions to creating tools and interfaces in real time.
Gemini Agent: A New AI Assistant for Real Tasks
The redesigned app introduces Gemini Agent, an early-stage autonomous assistant powered by Gemini 3. This is no ordinary chatbot—it’s designed for multi-turn, real-world tasks.
Some early abilities include:
- Drafting and organizing emails by connecting with Gmail
- Scheduling and event planning using Google Calendar
- Researching travel, compiling itineraries, and making bookings
- Prioritizing to-do lists or sorting workflows
Google emphasizes that such user control is already paramount. For instance, Gemini Agent will ask for confirmation before it finally can send an email or complete a booking.
At launch, the Agent will be made available first to Google AI Ultra subscribers before expanding more widely.
Gemini 3 Powers the New AI Mode in Search
Google Search has also been upgraded with Gemini 3 for AI Mode—particularly for more complex queries. Where a question requires deeper reasoning, say, travel budgeting, mortgage planning, or even technical explanations, Search can now generate:
- Dynamic visual layouts
- Interactive calculators
- Comparison tables
- Custom modules for the query
For simpler requests, however, Google uses smaller models to keep responses fast.
Integration of Gemini 3 makes Search feel more like an interactive assistant rather than a list of links, which will likely significantly reshape how users find their information.
A New Era of Developer Tools
As part of this release, Google is also expanding Gemini 3 access through AI Studio, Vertex AI, and the new Google Antigravity platform. Developers can now build more autonomous, agent-style applications powered by Gemini 3‘s advanced reasoning and coding capabilities.
Final Thoughts
Gemini 3 signals the biggest leap forward yet toward a Google AI that is more autonomous, more visual, and deeply integrated into workflows. The rebuilt Gemini app, generative interfaces, and enhanced AI Mode in Search represent the ambition of Google’s future: no longer just a search engine, but an AI partner. And as Deep Think, Gemini Agent, and other features continue to roll out in the months ahead, users will get a more powerful interactive experience.
