Gemini interactive apps can move to Google Sites: from a chat result to a website draft

On October 19, 2026, Google announced that interactive apps in Gemini can be exported directly to Google Sites, its website editor. The exported app appears in a new private site draft. Users can add content before publishing and sharing it. See the official announcement.

The export retains the app's interactions and removes the need to copy code manually and rebuild the page. Access settings and publication still need to be handled in Sites. An organization's existing Sites and Drive policies continue to apply.

A small team planning a trip may already have asked Gemini for a calculator with adjustable headcount and duration. A tool inside a chat is not the whole explanation: colleagues also need to know which expenses are included, when the assumptions changed and how to interpret the result.

As a suggested use, export that calculator to Sites and add the expense assumptions and a contact beside it. Readers can try the calculation and read its explanation on one page; maintainers have a place to describe its limits. Exporting does not validate formulas. Before publication, compare two or three known inputs with the expected results so that an interactive page is not mistaken for a correct calculator.

The feature is available to Workspace, Workspace Individual and personal Google accounts with access to the Gemini app. The announcement lists the web, Android and iOS. Google Sites must also be enabled, with permission to create and edit sites. The editing, preview and publication steps below use a computer.

1. Open an existing interactive app. Find the app you want to keep in Gemini and check its interactions and sample data. If you have not made one yet, a suggested prompt is “Create a trip budget calculator that only multiplies headcount, days and daily budget.” Check its calculations.
2. Export a draft. Select Export → Google Sites on the interactive app. According to the announcement, this opens a new private site draft. Add a title, instructions and necessary assumptions instead of publishing unconfirmed chat content unchanged.
3. Preview the display and interactions. Click Preview at the top of Sites and switch layout options. Check that inputs and results work on a smaller screen. The publishing guide documents preview and publication. Fix formula or content problems and check again.
4. Choose the audience, then publish. In Share, check the Published site access setting: Restricted or Public. Work and school accounts may have different options. Set an address with Publish, publish the site and open its live address to confirm the page. For a specific group of colleagues, add viewers under restricted access. Check the published page's permissions separately from the editable draft's.
