Gemini 3 Is Everywhere — So I Finally Tested It as a Developer (And Here’s What Happened)

If you’re active in the developer community, you’ve probably noticed one thing over the last week — Gemini 3 is literally everywhere. X (Twitter), Reddit, Discord, YouTube… the hype has been insane. Everyone keeps saying

“Google finally did it… this model is massive.”

As a developer, I’m always curious when a new AI model gets this kind of attention. So of course, I had to test it myself. Not by asking philosophical questions or doing poetry — but by using it for something real, something practical:

👉 Can Gemini 3 build a usable developer-friendly website from a single prompt?

So I opened Google AI Studio, typed a simple request, and the results honestly shocked me.

Test #1 — Building a Doctor Appointment Landing Page

My first test prompt was extremely basic:

“Make a doctor appointment landing page website.”

Just one line. No extra styling instructions. No design rules. No frameworks.
And then Gemini responded…

The UI it generated was shockingly good.

It wasn’t the usual basic HTML pages we expect from AI. No boring layout. No Bootstrap boilerplate. Instead, it looked like something a real designer made.

*Why it surprised me:
*

The UI/UX looked clean and modern

Layout structuring was better than many ready-made templates

The typography choices were actually thoughtful

Colors and spacing felt professional

It looked brandable, not generic

Honestly, it looked better than some of the free WordPress default themes we see everywhere.

And remember — all this came from one small prompt.

As developers, we know how long UI polishing takes:

  • Choosing a color palette
  • Balancing padding/margins
  • Picking the right font scale
  • Making the layout responsive
  • Ensuring the design feels consistent
  • Gemini 3 handled most of that instantly.

This is the first moment I felt like AI isn’t just writing code anymore — it’s beginning to understand design logic.

And as a frontend dev, that’s both exciting and scary.

Test #2 — Building a University Material Website in VS Code

After the first result impressed me, I wanted a harder challenge. So I switched to VS Code and asked Gemini to build:

_

“A complete university material website with good functionality for my VU class fellow students.”
_

Now the results this time were not as perfect. The UI was fine, but not as polished as the earlier landing page. Functionality ideas were there, but the code wasn’t production-ready.

But still…

  • It created a multi-section layout
  • Included areas for notes, lectures, and materials
  • Suggested good structure and logic
  • Generated components and routing ideas
  • Saved me time on boilerplate

So while this second test wasn’t “wow” level, it still gave me a solid starting point.

Final Thoughts — Is Gemini 3 Worth the Hype?

After using it for real dev tasks, my answer is:

Yes — it actually deserves the hype.

For UI/UX generation alone, this model is a game changer. The ability to create a brandable-looking website from a single sentence is something we’ve never had at this level before.

  • It’s not perfect.
  • It’s not replacing developers.
  • But it’s making our workflow faster, smoother, and more creative.

If you haven’t tried Gemini 3 yet, especially the UI generation part, you’re missing out. This is the closest we’ve come to an AI that actually understands beauty in design.
