Gemini export to Google Sites is now live: you can take an interactive app you built in Gemini and turn it into a real, shareable web page with a single menu option. No coding, no copy-pasting, no hosting setup. Google announced it on October 19, 2026.
Quick Facts
- What it does: sends a Gemini-built app to a new, private Google Sites draft.
- Where: web, Android and iOS.
- Who: Google Workspace customers, Workspace Individual subscribers and personal Google accounts with Gemini access.
- Cost: Google’s post lists no extra charge.
- Admin setup: none. Existing Sites and Drive policies apply.
The details below come from Google’s own Workspace Updates post, plus coverage from Android Headlines.
How Gemini export to Google Sites works, step by step
Until now, an app you made in Gemini mostly lived inside Gemini. Sharing meant sending a link to the chat or rebuilding the thing somewhere else. This update removes that gap.
Here’s the flow, based on Google’s description:
- Open the interactive app you built in the Gemini app.
- Pick Export, then Google Sites.
- Google Sites opens with a new private draft that already contains your app.
- Add text, adjust the layout, then publish or share it like any other site.
The app stays fully interactive after the move. A visitor to your published page can still use the calculator, quiz or dashboard you made, not just look at a screenshot of it.
Nothing goes public on its own. The draft is private until you decide to publish it.
What kind of apps are worth exporting?
Gemini’s interactive apps are small web tools, such as calculators, quizzes and simple dashboards, according to Android Headlines. Those are the things people usually want to hand to someone else.
A few practical examples where a Google Sites page beats a chat link:
- A pricing or budget calculator you want to send to clients.
- A study quiz for a class or team training.
- A small dashboard that sits inside a team intranet page.
The win here is context. On a Sites page you can add a heading, a short explanation and files from Google Drive around the app, so people know what they’re looking at.
Who can use it, and what’s the catch?
Almost anyone with Gemini access can. The table below shows the account types Google named.
| Account type | Can export? | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Personal Google account with Gemini access | Yes | Needs Google Sites to be available to you |
| Google Workspace (business or school) | Yes | Sites must be turned on and you must be allowed to create sites |
| Workspace Individual | Yes | Same rule: you need permission to create and edit sites |
Google’s post says the feature is available now for Rapid Release and Scheduled Release domains. It doesn’t give a date for other release tracks, so some admins may still be waiting.
There’s no new admin switch. Instead, exported sites follow your organization’s existing Google Sites and Google Drive rules. If your company limits public sharing, that limit still applies to the new page.
How does this fit Google’s wider Gemini push?
Google keeps adding ways for Gemini to do work, not just answer questions. We covered the Gemini agent for Google Workspace preview a few days ago, and it points the same way: more tasks finished inside Google’s own apps.
Making apps is the other half. Our look at personal apps built with AI Studio showed Google pushing people to build small tools themselves. Export to Sites gives those tools a place to live and a way to reach other people.
Keep one limit in mind. Google’s post doesn’t describe technical limits or how large an app can be, so test your page before you send the link out.
Check these things before you hit publish
An exported page is still a public web page once you share it, so a few minutes of checking saves embarrassment later.
Start with the content itself. Open the app and try every button, input and edge case, because AI-built tools can get small details wrong, like rounding or a missing field.
Then look at the page on a phone. Many visitors will open your link from a message app, and a layout that looks fine on a laptop can feel cramped on a small screen.
Finally, check the sharing setting. If the page is meant for your team only, restrict it to your organization before you send the link. If it’s meant for everyone, make sure the app doesn’t show private numbers or names you typed in while testing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Gemini export to Google Sites cost extra?
Google’s announcement doesn’t mention any extra fee. You need Gemini access and a Google account that can create sites.
Is my exported app public right away?
No. Gemini creates a private draft in Google Sites. You choose whether to publish it publicly or share it only inside your organization.
Do I need to know how to code?
No. You build the app in Gemini, click Export, and finish the page in the Google Sites editor.
Why don’t I see the Export option?
The rollout may not have reached your account or your Workspace release track yet. Also check that Google Sites is turned on for you and that you’re allowed to create sites.
Will the app still work after I export it?
Yes. Google says the app stays interactive on the new site, so visitors can use it directly.
Our take
This is a small feature that solves a real annoyance. If you’ve made something handy in Gemini, you can now give it a proper home in under a minute. Try it with a low-stakes app first, check how it behaves on your phone, and only then publish it to a wider audience.
