The forthcoming tool aims to manage time-consuming digital tasks such as navigating websites, filling out forms, comparing options, or performing routine online actions with minimal user input.
For instance, if someone plans to attend a stand-up comedy show but forgets to book parking, they can simply ask Chrome for assistance. Chrome will retrieve event information from the user’s ticket confirmation and utilize services like SpotHero to find and reserve a parking space.
Google also mentioned that users who routinely purchase pet food online can instruct Chrome to update their orders. For example, if a puppy has matured, Chrome can change the order from puppy food to adult dog food on Chewy, a pet food app, without the need for the user to manually search and place the order.
The company stated that this feature is designed to handle ‘tedious tasks’ so users can concentrate on more significant matters while Chrome manages browsing and online activities in the background.
Google characterized the functionality as a ‘context-aware’ assistant, meaning it can comprehend what the user is engaged in and provide more relevant assistance while browsing.
The company added that users who opt to activate ‘Personal Intelligence’ will receive more personalized responses based on their interests, hobbies, family information, or even details about their pets. However, users will maintain control over their privacy settings and can decide the extent of personal information Gemini can access.
Google indicated that these new Chrome features are powered by Gemini 3.1, the latest artificial intelligence model from the company.
According to Google, the integration of Gemini in Chrome will begin rolling out in the United States later in June. This feature will be available exclusively on select Android smartphones running Android 12 or newer versions.
