TipBuild a small app in Gemini and put it online as a web page with one click
Apps you build with Gemini, such as a price calculator, a quiz or a simple guide, can now be exported to Google Sites with one click. The app lands in a private draft of a website, where it still works, and you decide when it is published. It works with ordinary Google accounts too. Here is how, and what to keep in mind.
In Gemini you can already ask the AI to build small interactive apps in Canvas mode, such as a calculator, a quiz or a dashboard. Until now it has been awkward to get them out to others except through a share link to Gemini. On 19 October 2026 Google announced that you can now export such an app directly to Google Sites, Google's tool for making simple websites. Android Authority covered the news on 23 October.
It works like this: in Gemini you choose Export → Google Sites on your app. A new, private draft is created in Google Sites with the app already embedded and working. There you can add text and images, publish the site and share it like any other Google Sites page. You do not need to copy any code or rebuild anything.
The feature is available now on the web and in the Gemini app for Android and iOS. It applies to Google Workspace customers, Workspace Individual and personal Google accounts that have access to the Gemini app. Google does not mention any paid plan requirement. On work accounts it only works if your admin lets you create sites in Google Sites.
For a small business it can be a quick way to give customers something useful, such as a calculator for roughly what a service costs, a guide that helps customers choose the right product, or a quiz for a course. Teachers and clubs can publish an exercise the same way. It is still AI that wrote the code, so test the app carefully and check every number before it goes public.
Also think about personal data. According to Google's help page on Canvas, anyone with the public link to a shared Gemini app can view and edit data that belongs to the app. So do not let the app collect names, phone numbers or anything sensitive, and state clearly on the page that prices and answers are approximate if they are. If you want the app to use AI itself, for example to write text, Google says you must be signed in and at least 18.
How to get started
- Go to gemini.google.com, choose Canvas among the tools below the text box and describe the app you want. The Prompt Workshop has a ready-made prompt for a small app.
- Test the app in the preview and ask Gemini to fix what goes wrong. Check all prices and calculations yourself.
- Choose Export → Google Sites. A private draft opens in Google Sites.
- Add a heading, a short explanation and your company's contact details, and publish when everything is right.
- Share the link on your website, in your newsletter or on social media, and update the app when prices change.
