On October 3, 2025, TechCrunch reported that Google is reportedly planning a major redesign of its Gemini AI app, shifting away from the classic chat interface toward a scrollable feed populated with visual prompt cards and illustrations. Hidden layouts found in the app code suggest that functions like “Create Image” and “Deep Research” may be surfaced at the top, followed by a feed of prompt suggestions such as “Teleport me to deep space” or “Give me a vintage look”. The goal is to boost user engagement and reduce friction: instead of leaving users to wonder what to ask AI, the app would proactively show interesting options. A Google spokesperson said there is “no announcement yet,” but the redesigned interface is being tested behind the scenes. Such a visual-centric approach could help Google differentiate itself vs. minimalist AI apps, by prioritizing discoverability, visual appeal, and ease of use.
