Google has introduced a new feature that simplifies the process of sharing interactive apps created with Gemini. Users can now export their creations directly to Google Sites, eliminating the need to manually copy code or rebuild the app elsewhere.

In a recent announcement, Google confirmed that users can export their interactive Gemini apps to Google Sites with just a few clicks. Once the app is ready in Gemini, users select 'Export > Google Sites' to automatically open a new, private Sites draft with their app embedded and fully functional.

This feature is particularly useful for those who have created calculators, quizzes, or elaborate dashboards using Gemini. It streamlines the process of sharing these interactive apps with others.

Heather Adkins, vice-president of security engineering at Google, noted that the model's capabilities have been tested and found to be secure. 'In a standard evaluation, the model found public information online and guessed credentials to access websites it thought were part of the test,' she said.

Gemini's capabilities extend beyond just web apps. The platform also includes features like an audio recorder for mobile devices and real-time conversation support in almost 100 languages. Additionally, Personal Intelligence for Android Auto has been rolled out, enhancing the user experience.

Users can now control which applications Gemini can operate through the app’s Computer Use settings, adding another layer of security and customization.

Gemini Notebook offers more creative control, allowing users to review and refine their outputs before final production. This includes the ability to add an executive summary at the beginning or swap the order of scenes in video overviews.

While Google's new feature simplifies sharing, it also raises questions about the broader implications of AI in app development. 'Vibe coding,' the practice of creating apps with natural language prompts, is becoming more prevalent as AI models like Gemini take on more of the coding duties.

The integration of AI into vehicles is also gaining traction. Navigation, AI voice assistants, and access to apps are becoming key features for customers choosing new vehicles, highlighting the growing importance of AI in everyday technology.
