Google has been continually adding Gemini to its popular products and services, such as Android and Gmail, and the newest one to receive the AI treatment is Chrome. The tech giant says Gemini in Chrome is coming to both the Mac and Windows desktop versions of the app, and like its Android counterpart.
In a blog post, the tech giant Gemini in Chrome is built “across multiple levels so it can better anticipate your needs, help you understand more complex information and make you more productive when you browse the web.”
Like the Android, iOS and web versions of Gemini, users will be able to ask the AI chatbot complex questions, get information about or from a particular web page, work across tabs and even schedule meetings or search for YouTube videos. Also, with the new update, Chrome users will soon be able to access Google Search’s AI Mode directly from the address bar and change their compromised passwords with one click.
Google added that, in the coming months, it will be adding agentic capabilities to Gemini in Chrome, which will enable the AI to handle tedious tasks like “booking a haircut or ordering your weekly groceries” and “act on your behalf on web pages” so you focus on other things.
Gemini will also be able to handle your Chrome tabs. For example, you can ask the AI chatbot to compare prices across tabs, summarise information and consolidate all travel information into a single itinerary. Users can also ask the AI chatbot things like “what was the website that I saw the walnut desk on last week?” and “what was that blog I read on back-to-school shopping?”
Gemini in Chrome is currently available for users in the United States who use Chrome in English, with Google saying it will expand these features to other regions in the future.
