Gemini now lets you build interactive visualizations in chat

Gemini's generative interface now renders interactive elements directly in chat. The author used it to visualize a floor lamp's dimensions before buying.

I was looking at a floor lamp for my room. First, as you can see, I just tried it out in a photo of the spot where it would go. Then I couldn't figure out how to match the dimensions, so I asked Gemini to help.

It created a handy visualization. You can add parameters with a regular prompt. Ordered the lamp, got what I needed.

In general, the generative interface lets you visualize pretty much anything (not just interiors). For example, build a 3D model of the solar system for kids, create an interactive chart for a financial report, show a simulation of a physical process (like gravity), or break down a complex programming algorithm into a clear diagram.

Any dataset or complex concept can now be turned into a clickable, easy-to-understand tool right in the chat.

You can try it in AI Studio.
