According to clues found in the most recent Google app beta, Google is building a new section inside the Gemini app that will collect everything that the AI finds for you—images, videos, code snippets, and research in long form. The new section, called “Created by you,” is reminiscent of a library where all of your outputs are sorted out from your chat threads, providing a higher level of accessibility to past work without searching for it in conversation history.
One home for AI-created images, videos and docs
Several strings and UI elements in the Google app (version 16.35.63 beta) refer to a hub that will auto-store media that comes from you Gemini.
Early behavior indicates that it doesn’t just capture visuals; it also surfaces code blocks, documents created with Canvas and entries from Gemini’s Deep Research mode. Choosing an asset brings you back to the exact part of the conversation where it was added: it works as a sort of asset browser and local index in tandem.
This approach is similar to how creatives treat outputs in design or code editors: the artifact is self-contained, but it’s still connected back to the project in which it was created. For AI tools, that’s important because the prompt — and the chain of follow-up commands that follows — is typically just as valuable as the output.
Where it resides in the Gemini interface
“Made by you” is located under the New Chat selection in the hamburger app menu in place of the previous “My Stuff” placeholder. It’s not widely available just yet and seems to be gated behind server-side flags, and that’s usually the case for features going through testing. The existence of a polished label, menu location and navigation hooks indicate the feature is further along than a mere experiment.
An old idea with a new AI-first twist
In a similar vein of thought is the concept of OpenAI’s ChatGPT Library, which collects resources for people without requiring them to dig through old chats. Google’s execution looks like it’s built to cater to the multi-modality breadth – code search, research timelines, and canvas documents are first-class citizens instead of images and videos. That breadth counts, as Gemini increasingly mingles text, vision and structured tasks in the same workspace.
Take the practical edge: a creator trying out image prompts, a developer iterating snippets, and a student citing sources could all use the same Gemini account. A single organizing hub minimizes friction between those radically different workflows.
Why a creation hub is important now
Content sprawl increases with AI adoption. For years, McKinsey has pointed out that knowledge workers spend a fifth of their time looking for information. This search burden is only magnified when AI tools multiply outputs across dozens of threads. A fast, easily search able repository can cut through that overhead and help with re-use—especially if Google adds filters (media type, date, model, project), lightweight tagging, or easy export to other services.
There’s also a trust angle. Revisiting what the model gave me over time — and the prompts that led to it — allows users to audit their process, and to keep to the same style (for brand, code or approach as examples). For educators and enterprise teams, that audit trail may be as valuable as the files it contains.
What it means for the Google user-base
That dogwhistle of Canvas documents, and the Deep Research history suggests a spine forming between cross-features in Gemini. Next, if this hub grows up, the next things that might be added would be granular controls (pin/rename/archive), Workspace-aware sharing and clearer data retention. Enterprise customers will want admin visibility and export options that meet the compliance standards that a companies such as ISO and NIST reference.
Equally important is discoverability. If “Created by you” does become a general entryway for all of the artifacts observed in a Gemini community, using chat scrollback may be less a necessary stage, bringing Gemini closer to a project-based model — useful for long-lived projects that outgrow single conversations.
What we don’t know yet
Google has not disclosed a rollout schedule. It’s also unclear if advanced filters will be available at launch, and if there will be offline access or direct exports to Google Drive and Photos. Privacy controls — such as the ability to exempt some chats or assets — will be under scrutiny even among users on the regulated side of the operating spectrum. Considering Google’s new focus on responsible AI, we should see this ship with documentation and admin controls if this rolls out broadly.
Bottom line
”Created by you” is how a practical, overdue quality-of-life upgrade seems to be for Gemini. By pushing outputs up beyond chat threads, and letting AI record more than just images, it recognizes how we actually work with it today. So long as Google provides rigorous organization and sharing at the scale it has elsewhere, this could become the de-facto jumping-off point for everything you make with Gemini.
