After the massive success of OpenAI’s video editing app Sora, which recently topped the U.S. App Store charts, Google appears to be planning a significant makeover for its Gemini AI app.

According to a report from Android Authority, the tech giant is experimenting with a new visually engaging interface that shifts away from the traditional chatbot-style layout. Instead, it introduces a scrollable feed of prompts paired with vibrant photos, aiming to make Gemini more interactive and user-friendly.

Inside new Gemini interface

The updated design was discovered in a recent version of the Gemini Android app, though it’s not yet publicly available. A reverse engineer managed to activate the hidden interface by digging into the app’s code.

The leaked design shows that shortcut buttons like “Create Image” and “Deep Research” have been repositioned toward the top of the screen. Below them lies a dynamic, scrollable feed of prompt ideas that help users explore Gemini’s creative and analytical abilities.

When contacted about the update, a Google spokesperson said there was “no announcement to be made just yet.”

What new prompts look like

The feed reportedly suggests creative uses for Gemini’s AI, such as:

“Teleport me to deep space.”
“Give me a vintage or grunge look.”
“Turn my drawing into a storybook.”

Other prompts highlight productivity and lifestyle ideas like “Brainstorm out loud with Live” or “Send me a daily news roundup.”

The concept is to guide users toward Gemini’s full potential, especially those unsure of what to ask or how to use the AI’s features.

If the redesign goes live, it could make Gemini feel less like a chatbot and more like an interactive AI hub, blending inspiration with functionality. The feed-style interface would also give users a reason to open the app regularly — something that OpenAI’s minimalist ChatGPT design currently lacks.

The move could also help Google leverage the popularity of its Nano Banana image model, which played a key role in Gemini’s surge to the No. 1 spot on the App Store in September before being dethroned by OpenAI’s Sora.
