You've just spent twenty minutes in the Gemini app building a fun little tool — maybe a quiz for your class, a price calculator for your shop, or a planner for your team. Until now, sharing it meant copying code, rebuilding it somewhere else, or sending people a wall of screenshots. Now there's a one-click way to put it on a real website anyone can open.
Here's what you need before you start:
- Access to the Gemini app (a Google Workspace account, a Workspace Individual subscription, or a personal Google account with Gemini access)
- Google Sites turned on for your account — if you're on Workspace, your admin controls this
- The feature works on web, Android, and iOS
Step 1 — Open the interactive app you want to share
In the Gemini app, find the interactive app you've already built. If you haven't made one yet, build a small one first — ask Gemini for something interactive, like a quiz, a calculator, or a planner. The app shows up in its own preview, and that's where the Export option lives.
💬 Example prompt to try first: "Build me a 5-question quiz about basic first aid, with instant feedback after each answer."
You'll know it worked when you see the app preview running, with controls you can tap or click, and an Export option visible on the page.
Step 2 — Click Export, then choose Google Sites
In the Gemini app, find the Export option on your app. From the menu, select Google Sites. According to Google, the export happens in one click — you don't need to copy any code or paste anything anywhere. The app carries itself over, fully interactive.
You'll know it worked when a new browser tab opens, taking you straight to Google Sites with a new, private draft waiting for you.
Step 3 — Customize your draft in Google Sites
The app arrives on a brand-new Google Sites page, sitting as a private draft. From here you can edit the text around it, add more pages, change the layout, drop in headers or images — exactly as you would with any other Google Site. The interactive app itself is already embedded and ready to use.
💬 Example edit to try: add a short intro paragraph above the app explaining what it does and who it's for.
You'll know it worked when you can see your app working right on the page and the Google Sites editing toolbar is visible at the top.
Step 4 — Publish your site
When you're happy with the look, hit Publish in the Google Sites toolbar. Pick a web address (URL) — many short ones are already taken, so have a backup ready. The site goes live right away, just like any other Google Site.
You'll know it worked when the URL becomes active and opening it in a fresh browser tab shows your published site.
Step 5 — Share the link
Once the site is live, copy the URL and send it to the people you built it for — your team, your customers, your students, your book club. They open the link in any browser and the interactive app is right there. They don't need a Gemini account to use it.
💬 Example share message: "I built us a quick quiz to figure out what to pack for the trip — tap the link and try it: [your URL here]."
You'll know it worked when you open the same link in a private or incognito window and the app still works for you there too.
Common mistakes
- Not checking if Google Sites is enabled first. If you're on Workspace, your admin has to turn Sites on for you. Without that, the Export option either won't appear or won't work. Quick check: open Google Sites directly in your browser. If it loads, you're fine.
- Sharing the draft URL by mistake. Your new site starts as a private draft. If you copy and send the URL before clicking Publish, no one else can open it — only you. Publish first, then share.
- Forgetting that organization policies still apply. Google says the new site follows your organization's existing Sites and Drive policies. Sharing permissions, retention, and storage rules still apply — even though it feels like a fresh site.
- Sending the link without testing it. Open the published URL in a private window before sharing. It's the only way to see exactly what your recipient will see.
Wrap-up
Google's new one-click export turns an interactive Gemini app into a real, shareable website without touching any code. The whole flow — build, export, publish, share — takes a few minutes once the app is ready. Try it today: build a small interactive app in Gemini, click Export > Google Sites, and see how it looks on a fresh Google Site before you send the link to anyone.
