I tried Google Labs’ Dreambeans app — and it finally broke my infinite scrolling habit

Google AI on phone with laptop in background.

Google Labs today introduced Dreambeans, a new experimental AI app designed to curate a finite collection of personalized daily stories using information from across your connected apps.

According to the company, Dreambeans helps “cut through the clutter” by surfacing stories that connect users to information that matters to them. With permission, the app can use Google’s Personal Intelligence to pull context from Google apps including Gmail, Calendar, Photos, YouTube and Search History.

The app also offers a visual component, meaning, each story can be illustrated with personalized, AI-generated artwork. If a story involves the user or people close to them, Dreambeans can use Google Photos and Nano Banana 2 to paint their likeness directly into the scene instead of using generic stock imagery, with permission.

Even after just a short stint with Dreambeans. it's clear this is what ChatGPT Pulse wanted to be, except this is something I'll actually use.
