Your Gemini app becomes a website in one click
The little apps you create in the Gemini app can now be sent to Google Sites in one click, then shared like any other site. Handy, as long as you know who can publish what.
In the Gemini app, you can ask for much more than text: a dashboard, a price calculator, a training quiz… Gemini builds them as small interactive apps. Until now, one question remained: how do you show them to other people? Sorted.
What’s changing
An “Export” button now sends the app to Google Sites. In one click, it lands in a new site, as a private draft, and it stays fully interactive. You can then add text or other pages, publish the site, and share it like any other Google site.
No code to copy, nothing to rebuild: the app you created by chatting with Gemini becomes a page your colleagues, clients or students can open.
Who it’s for, and on what terms
- Users: it’s available right away, on desktop, Android and iPhone, for everyone with access to the Gemini app, Google Workspace and personal accounts alike.
- Administrators: there’s no new setting. Exporting only works for people allowed to create Google sites, and the sites created this way follow your usual Google Sites and Google Drive rules.
Licences affected: all Google Workspace editions, Workspace Individual, and personal Google accounts with access to the Gemini app.
Our take
It’s an excellent way to go from idea to shared tool in an afternoon: a tracking board for a team, a calculator for the sales people, an interactive training module. Before you dive in, three reflexes:
- check who can publish, and for whom. No new setting means your current Google Sites rules decide everything. If your users can publish a site visible to the whole internet, they’ll be able to publish these apps there too. Now’s the time to have a look at those rules, as with the Drive shares we covered in our article on external sharing;
- look at what’s inside. An app generated in two minutes can contain internal figures or names. Once published, it’s visible to everyone with access to the site;
- decide who keeps it alive. A tool people like ends up being used every day. It then needs someone to keep it up to date, otherwise it quickly becomes wrong without anyone noticing.
