Project Genie

Google · 29 January 2026

Project Genie opens Genie 3 as an experimental prototype to Google AI Ultra subscribers (18+, US) to create, explore and remix interactive worlds.

First consumer-facing Genie 3 access, with world sketching (text and images, with Nano Banana Pro), real-time exploration, and remixing. Some Genie 3 features from the August 2025 demo (promptable events) were not yet included; compute constraints cause the 60-second cap.
