Google has rolled out a host of new features for its Chrome browser, leveraging its Gemini-powered AI tools to make browsing more efficient and personalized. The first of these updates brings a new sidebar interface that allows users to chat with Gemini across multiple tabs, making it easier to multitask and complete tasks more quickly.
The sidebar also provides direct access to Google's in-house image generator, Nano Banana, which can generate AI images without the need for a separate app or file upload. This means users can easily create and edit images using Gemini within Chrome, streamlining their workflow.
Looking ahead, Google plans to integrate its Personal Intelligence feature into Chrome, allowing the browser to remember past conversations with Gemini and provide more personalized assistance. This will enable the browser to understand users' needs better and offer relevant context-aware support.
Additionally, Google is previewing an auto browse feature that uses Gemini to automate online tasks such as shopping and ordering. In a demo shown by the company, an employee asked Gemini to find and buy a winter jacket they had purchased before, and the assistant drafted a plan outlining how to tackle the request. The feature will appeal to users who are creatures of habit and want to simplify their browsing experience.
As with other Gemini-powered features, auto browse is currently available in preview for Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers in the US, offering early testers an opportunity to try out the new functionality before it's rolled out more widely.
