Google has officially begun to implement Gemini in Chrome to U and Ultra users in the United States. The Long Data Plan will embed the AI assistant in the popular Google web browser in Mac and Windows, although only if the language is configured in English.
Chrome users will be able to use Chrome essentially to follow their trip on the web, explaining text on websites, summarizing in their tabs, keeping them organized and even even doing their tasks online.
Google states that this is a complete redesign of how Chrome works. With Gemini on board, his browser knows what page he is in, what eyelashes he has open and what he was investigating last week when he was distracted and click. You can ask questions about the current page, or even on several tabs.
For example, I might ask: “Can cancellation policies compare these travel sites?” Or “What are the key conclusions of these three news articles that I have open?”
He even extracts information from his Google applications without forcing him to change his tab. You can verify Google maps, scan YouTube or look at your calendar.
“In Google, our vision for AI is to create technology that is really useful. We are using the world’s main models to transform many of our products, and Chrome is a great place to see that our vision becomes life to billions of people,” said Rick Osterloh, senior vice president of platforms and devices on Google, in a statement. “We are evolving the browser to help you make the most of the web, in forms that we do not think possible even a few years ago. And we are doing it while we keep the speed, simplicity and safety of Chrome that loves so many people.”
Gemini Chrome agents
In the coming months, that utility will be even more practical. Google is testing “agent capabilities”, which is its way of saying that Gemini will soon begin to take measures in its name. Think about reserving a haircut, ordering edible or finding and completing the correct form for your driver’s license, and without clicking on each link. You give a task to Gemini, handle the rest.
You still have control and you can stop it at any time, but Chrome looks more like a partner than a search engine.
Ai sailing to the future
Even the Chrome Omnibox, the address bar at the top of the window, is becoming smarter with its own “AI” mode that allows you to ask you long and complex questions correctly and recover the conversational answers. It’s like asking Google Search for something without having to open Google.
That feeling of mixture of AI in the background is very by design. Of course, there are compensation. A browser with AI can be spooky if it gets over, or confusing if it becomes too proactive too fast. Gemini is not perfect, and when Fallies will depend on users to control it again.
Google not only adds new buttons or closet in the tools, it is trying to redefine what it means to navigate in an era in which the website is increasingly formed. With Gemini in Chrome, they are betting on people not only wanting to navigate faster, but they want all the experience to be smarter.
