What AI experiments are available on Google Labs?
Google Labs (labs.google) is Google's showcase for early-stage AI experiments, and the projects currently listed there fall into four broad categories: Create, Develop, Explore, and Learn. Each experiment has a short description of what it does, and most offer a "Try It Now" link, while at least one (Play with Putty) uses a waitlist instead. Below is what the site currently lists, grouped by what you're trying to do.
Create: tools for making content and designs
These experiments focus on generating or shaping creative output.
| Experiment | What it does |
|---|---|
| Dreambeans | Daily personalized collections of stories covering topics that matter to you |
| Google Flow Music | An AI music studio for creating full songs |
| Google Flow | An AI creative studio for bringing stories to life |
| Pomelli | Builds scalable, on-brand marketing content to help you reach your audience faster |
| Stitch | An AI design canvas that turns natural language into high-fidelity UI you can iterate on and collaborate over |
| Mixboard | An AI-powered concepting board for exploring, expanding, and refining ideas |
| Opal | Build, edit, and share AI mini-apps using natural language |
Develop: tools for building, coding, and evaluating
These target developers and teams working on software or models.
- Jules — an asynchronous coding agent that automates tasks inside workflows such as bug fixes, writing tests, and adding features.
- Stax — an AI evaluation toolkit that tests models and prompts so you can ship with more confidence.
- Play with Putty — a research experiment in collaborative "vibe coding" that lets teams build tools and websites together in real time. This one uses a Join Waitlist link rather than direct access.
- Computational Discovery — an agentic research engine that generates and scores code variations to help discover models and speed up iteration.
Explore: research-oriented experiments
These are aimed at research and discovery workflows.
- Literature Insights — a tool to find papers, structure data tables, and create artifacts like reports and slide decks.
- Hypothesis Generation — a multi-agent research tool that simulates the scientific method to identify knowledge gaps and generate novel hypotheses.
- CC — an experimental group agent for families and households, meant to help manage the logistics of running a busy home.
Learn: tools for skills and education
- Learn Your Way — transforms content into a dynamic, engaging learning experience tailored to you.
- Vantage — develops and measures future-ready skills like collaboration, creativity, and critical thinking through GenAI-simulated teamwork.
- AI Edge Eloquent — an AI writing tool that turns raw, unpolished speech into well-crafted, easy-to-understand text.
How to decide what to try first
The right starting point depends on your goal:
- If you want to make something visual or written — start with Stitch (UI), Pomelli (marketing), or Mixboard (ideation).
- If you write code — Jules and Stax are the most directly useful, with Play with Putty worth joining the waitlist for if you work in teams.
- If you're doing research — Literature Insights, Hypothesis Generation, and Computational Discovery are grouped for that purpose.
- If you're learning or teaching — Learn Your Way and Vantage are the relevant entries.
One practical note: the site labels these as experiments, and access varies. Most list a "Try It Now" link, but Play with Putty requires joining a waitlist, so don't assume every project is immediately available. The site also organizes everything under All / Create / Develop / Explore / Learn tabs, which is the fastest way to browse by intent rather than reading every description.
