Artificial intelligence continues to dominate conversations everywhere from powering productivity tools to enhancing creativity and information search. Among the leading AI platforms, Google Gemini is preparing for a major transformation. According to a recent report by TechCrunch, Google is testing a brand-new user interface (UI) for the Gemini app that will shift away from the familiar chatbot format to a more engaging visual feed layout.
Instead of typing prompts manually and waiting for responses in a chat window, the new Gemini experience discovered within the latest Android app code introduces a scrollable home feed filled with suggested prompts and illustrative images. These pre-made topics eliminate the need to think of questions from scratch: users can simply tap and explore, turning AI interaction into something more intuitive, seamless, and visually engaging.
A highlight of this feed-based UI is its diversity of suggested prompts. For example, users might see options like “Teleport me to deep space” to generate cosmic visuals, “Give me a vintage grunge look” for creative image editing, or “Quiz me on basic biology” for quick knowledge checks. Gemini will also showcase examples of how it can be used for image generation, coding, or daily news summaries, all paired with visuals that make information easier to understand at a glance.
This shift signals Google’s ambition to evolve Gemini from a question-answering assistant into a full-fledged Discovery Platform one where users can open the app and scroll through interesting AI-generated content even without an initial query. It directly tackles the “blank page syndrome” that often discourages new users while making the interface more visually appealing and familiar, much like a social media feed.
The redesigned UI is still in testing and not yet publicly available. Google has not confirmed a launch date, or which platform Android, iOS, or web will see it first. However, reverse-engineered code reveals that shortcuts like “Create Image” and “Deep Research” are being repositioned to the top of the screen to ensure smoother navigation within the feed.
If released, this new design could significantly boost Gemini’s competitive edge against rivals like ChatGPT, which still maintains a minimalist UI, and potentially attract social media users looking to explore AI in a more dynamic and discovery-driven way.
