Have you ever wanted to customize your Google Search experience? Now you can build your own apps right within Google Search.
I discovered this amazing feature powered by Google Antigravity and Gemini 3.5, which lets me set up a search feature that delivers exactly the kind of information I need, formatted just how I like it, and sourced from where I trust.
During this year’s Google I/O, Liz Reid, head of Google Search, unveiled this innovation. She mentioned, “Search can build the ideal response, in the right format for your question – completely on the fly. You’ll get custom generative UI, including visual tools and simulations, tailored to your needs.”
Exciting Examples
Imagine creating custom layouts for understanding astrophysics or how your wristwatch works. Google assembles interactive visuals, tables, and real-time simulations to suit your learning style.
I’ve also been able to manage ongoing tasks like wedding planning or home moves with customized dashboards that act as helpful companions throughout the process.
Let’s not forget fitness! I asked Google Search to build me a custom fitness tracker. It taps into live data like weather and reviews to keep me on track, making my health goals more achievable.
Visualizing the Experience
These custom search experiences, including generative UI examples, will become widely available this summer. I’m particularly excited as they roll out first to Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers in the U.S.
Why This Matters
It’s groundbreaking to have the ability to code mini apps within Google Search, answering questions in ways that are uniquely mine. It’s a level of personalization I’m thrilled about, achievable only through such advanced generative-AI tools.
