Meet Dreambeans, an app that connects you with what matters

Google Labs is introducing an experimental app that uses AI to create daily stories, designed to connect you with what matters, without the endless scroll.

In a world of endless scrolling and digital noise, Google Labs is introducing our latest experiment: Dreambeans. It uses Google’s latest AI capabilities, like Personal Intelligence and Nano Banana 2, to proactively dream up personalized daily stories that cut through the clutter and connect you to what matters.

Get a daily dose of inspiration, brewed fresh for you

With your permission, Dreambeans uses Personal Intelligence to connect information from your Google apps, including Gmail, Calendar, Photos, YouTube and Search history to curate stories that inspire and delight you. The goal is not to scroll forever, it’s a finite collection of stories designed to spark new ideas and allow you to focus on what matters to you.

For example, I got a Gmail confirmation that my puppy’s treats were delivered and Dreambeans surfaced training tips for using them. It also referenced the Google Calendar reminder I have of my friend coming to town and provided recommendations of dog-friendly restaurants near me. Each story includes a unique illustration, reflecting the people and places you frequent the most.

Dive deeper into your interests

When a story catches your eye, you can tap to dive deeper. Dreambeans also fields information from across the web to help you take action. That could be pointing you to the nearest dog parks or suggesting puppy training classes. Save your favorites to your library and go back anytime.

And you can tune your stories, so if a recommendation isn’t quite right, you can provide feedback and it will help make the next collection even better. Or if Dreambeans missed something important, like a new hobby, you can provide that feedback and it will reflect in your future stories.

Choose which apps to connect

Dreambeans requires at least one connected app to function and works best when they are all enabled. However, you get to choose your connected apps that help personalize your daily stories.

You’re in control of your privacy. The choices you make in Dreambeans do not impact the ones you make for Personal Intelligence in other products like Gemini Apps or AI Mode.

Dreambeans is rolling out starting today for eligible Google AI Ultra subscribers (18+) in the U.S. on Android and iOS. Others can join the waitlist on our website with a personal Google account.

Google Labs launches Dreambeans - Root-Nation.com

Dreambeans is an experimental Google Labs mobile app for Android and iOS designed to cure endless scrolling by curating a finite collection of personalized, AI-generated stories every morning. It connects your personal Google data to deliver proactive daily inspiration and actionable insights. [1, 2, 3, 4]

How it Works

Instead of serving algorithmic content feeds, the app works overnight to digest and synthesize your digital footprint into a bite-sized storybook. [1, 2]

Connected Apps: With your permission, Dreambeans by Google Labs securely pulls context from your Gmail, Calendar, Photos, YouTube, and Search history. [1]
Story Generation: It connects the dots between your activities. For example, if you have an upcoming flight receipt in Gmail and a restaurant search, it can synthesize that into a travel story. [1, 2, 3, 4]
AI Visuals: Each story features unique, AI-generated artwork. Using Google Photos and a model called Nano Banana 2, it can even put the likeness of you and your loved ones directly into the illustration. [1, 2]
One-Tap Actions: Stories often include actionable elements, such as “Watch Trailer” or “See Ticket”. [1]

Privacy and Control

You get to choose exactly which Google apps the tool can synthesize, and you can delete all your collected data at any time through the in-app settings. [1]
If a story isn’t quite right, you can tap the “thumbs down” button or use the sparkle (tuning) tool to provide feedback. The app then adjusts and reflects your preferences in future stories. [1]

Availability and Access

Dreambeans is available as a Google Labs experiment for eligible US-based Google AI Ultra subscribers. If you are interested but do not have an eligible subscription, you can download the app and join the open waitlist with your personal Google account. You can also find additional information on the Google Labs announcement post. [1, 2, 3]

If you have a personal Google account, I can help you find out more about setting up your data permissions for experimental AI apps. Would you like more information on that?
