Google DeepMind is opening access to Project Genie, its AI tool for creating interactive game worlds from text prompts or images. Starting Thursday, U.S.-based Google AI Ultra subscribers can experiment with the prototype, which combines the Genie 3 world model, image-generation model Nano Banana Pro, and Gemini.

Project Genie allows users to generate “world sketches,” modify them, and navigate the resulting interactive environments in first- or third-person view. The release is part of DeepMind’s push to gather user feedback and train its models as it develops more capable world models, which many see as a key step toward artificial general intelligence.

letting users poke at it early feels smart, these systems need chaos to get better.
