The new Dynamic View feature was announced last week as part of the Gemini 3.0 update. It started rolling out on the web version of Gemini recently, and I’ve been testing it out over the last few days.
My first impression is that it’s great, although you have to know when to use it and when to avoid it. It doesn’t make sense for specific prompts, as it takes too much time and doesn’t provide any extra value compared to a classic text-based response. I’ll walk you through exactly what Dynamic View is, when to use it, and how much value it actually brings to the table.

What is Gemini’s Dynamic View, anyway?

First things first: Dynamic View is still an experimental feature, and it may not be available for everyone at this point. To check if you already have it, open Gemini on your desktop, click the Tools icon in the prompt box, and verify if the “Dynamic view” option appears.
Unlike the text-based answers we’re all used to getting from Gemini, Dynamic View takes things up a notch. Whenever you prompt it, the chatbot will create a mini app or a website that will contain the answer, along with some other bits of info it thinks will add value to you.
So, instead of a long wall of text, you get a page with tabs, images, maps, and even various fields you can interact with. The visual aspect makes it easier to learn or get things done, although this is subjective to a point, as it always comes down to personal preference. If you get overwhelmed by the massive wall of text Gemini generates when you prompt it — we’ve all been there — Dynamic View will make your life easier.
It works with every single prompt you can think of, even if it’s just a single word. However, that doesn’t mean you should use it every time. Every Gemini model and feature has a purpose behind it, and the best use case for Dynamic View is for things like planning and learning. If your prompt is very basic, using it is overkill since it will just take too much time to generate an answer, and it will likely contain extra info you’re not interested in.
