Dreambeans (Now Free for All U.S. Accounts)

Google Labs' personalized daily story app is now open to any U.S. Google account 18 and older on Android and iOS, with no subscription needed.

  • Each day the app builds a limited set of personalized stories by combining topics you care about with information from the Google apps you connect
  • Sources you can connect include Calendar, Gmail, Photos, Search, YouTube, and, new with this update, Gemini
  • Uses Google's Personal Intelligence to link information across apps and Nano Banana 2 for visuals, so with Photos connected, stories can include pictures of you and people you know
  • Previously required a paid Google AI subscription, and is now available to free consumer accounts as well as Google AI Plus, Pro, and Ultra in the U.S.
  • Still a Google Labs experiment

Best for

A short daily digest built from your own Gmail, Calendar, Photos, and search activity instead of an endless feed.

When to use it

You want a finite catch-up on things you might have missed without scrolling a news app.
