Gemini can now publish the little apps it builds straight to Google Sites, so your quote calculator doesn't have to live in a chat

Interactive apps made in the Gemini app can now be exported to Google Sites in one click, ready to edit, publish and share with your team or customers.
The short version
- Interactive apps built in the Gemini app can now be exported to Google Sites as a private, fully working draft site.
- It's available now on web and mobile for Workspace customers and personal Google accounts that have the Gemini app.
- Try it on one small internal tool first, and check who can see the site before you publish it.
Plenty of businesses have asked Gemini to build a handy little calculator, then left it sitting in a chat where nobody else could find it. Google has given those apps somewhere to live.
What is the new Gemini to Google Sites export?
The Gemini app can now send an interactive app it has built straight to Google Sites. You pick Export, then Google Sites, and the app opens as a new private draft site that still works. From there you can edit and publish it like any other Google Site.
Google says there's no code to copy and nothing to rebuild. For a business, that could be a quote estimator or a staff training quiz that lives at a proper web address instead of in one person's chat history.
Who can use it, and when?
Google Workspace customers, Workspace Individual subscribers and people with personal Google accounts who have the Gemini app can use the export now. It's live on the web and the mobile apps for both Rapid Release and Scheduled Release domains.
There's no new admin switch. You can only export if Google Sites is turned on for you and you're allowed to create and edit sites, and the new site follows your organisation's existing Sites and Drive settings.
Should your business use it?
Your business should try it on one small internal tool before putting anything in front of customers. A rough staff tool is a low-risk way to learn how far a Gemini-built app gets before it needs a human's help.
My take: test the maths and the edge cases like you would a new spreadsheet from a keen junior, because a confident calculator that's wrong is worse than no calculator. Then check the sharing settings before you hit publish.
A handy tool nobody can find is just a very clever secret.
Wondering what this means for your business?
That's exactly what the discovery call is for.
