Early look at upcoming Gemini Visual Layout feature

Google is preparing several new modes for its Gemini assistant, with recent discoveries pointing to Agent Mode, Visual Layout, and Creative Canvas as the next steps in their product roadmap. Agent Mode is believed to eventually provide delegated task automation, resembling what ChatGPT users experience today, but indications suggest it is still in early development and not close to launch.

Visual Layout, on the other hand, appears to be much closer to rollout. This upcoming mode would present information using a system of interactive cards, these cards may include images, sliders, tables, and various UI elements that let users explore structured information on any topic. The approach is reminiscent of how ChatGPT’s Pulse feature organizes topic overviews, though here the focus is on a more visually driven and modular layout. For users, this means browsing information in an engaging format, scrolling through cards, navigating tabs, and interacting with embedded controls, essentially, a personalized landing page for each prompt.

If future updates add the ability to schedule such responses, the feature could support recurring updates on topics of interest, matching workflows familiar to users of advanced chatbots today. For professionals and early adopters, this could bring value in research, presentations, and daily briefing scenarios.

The company behind these developments, Google, is heavily investing in making Gemini a flexible platform for structured outputs, leveraging its AI to go beyond plain text and offer richer, interactive results. This direction fits Google’s broader product strategy, which increasingly focuses on bringing multimodal, actionable responses into their ecosystem. The Visual Layout mode is currently unreleased, with no timeline shared, but the functionality appears to be progressing quickly compared to other experimental features.
