Being able to try out early experimental features is one of the main reasons why several power users have stayed tethered to Google’s ecosystem for years, be it early Android features in beta, or experimental features for Search via Labs.
With the arrival of Gemini on the scene, and the AI tool receiving new features at breakneck speed, giving users early access to new and experimental features was inevitable.
Now, to make it easier for users to distinguish between established Gemini features and new ones that Google might be testing, the Mountain View, California-based tech giant is giving its ambitious features a room of their own.
First spotted and highlighted by the folks over at 9to5Google, Gemini on the web now has a dedicated Labs section that lists all the experimental features currently live.
The new section is gradually rolling out. I have it on one of my Google accounts and not on the other, suggesting a phased server-side switch. I don’t have multiple features listed under the new tab, while the folks over at 9to5Google have Agent, Dynamic View, and Personal Intelligence listed, as seen below.

Mainstay features like Deep Research, Veo, Nano Banana, Canvas, Guided Learning, and Deep Think retain their spots within ‘Tools,’ while the Labs tab appears right below. This is a great way for all the tinkerers to be able to discern experimental features from stable ones.
The new tab is rolling out now for Gemini on the web. It hasn’t made its way to the Gemini mobile apps just yet, though judging by previously-established patterns, the mobile apps should be privy to the new tab within the week.
