The new era of browsing is here with the introduction of Gemini in Chrome, bringing powerful AI-driven features to users on macOS, Windows, and Chromebook Plus devices. Built on Gemini 3, Google’s most advanced model, these updates transform Chrome into a smarter, more proactive assistant that helps you navigate the web with greater efficiency and intelligence. A key innovation is the new side panel experience, designed to revolutionize multitasking. With Gemini always at your side, you can keep your main task open in one tab while using the side panel for secondary work—like comparing products across multiple sites, summarizing reviews, or finding time slots in a packed calendar. This seamless integration lets you stay focused and save time without switching contexts. Gemini in Chrome also features deeper connections with Google’s most popular apps, including Gmail, Calendar, YouTube, Maps, Google Shopping, and Google Flights. These integrations enable complex, multi-step workflows. For example, if you’re planning a business trip, Gemini can retrieve event details from an old email, analyze flight options, and draft a message to inform your team of your arrival time—all in one flow. Looking ahead, Personal Intelligence will soon arrive in Chrome, offering a more personalized and proactive browsing experience. Users can opt in to connect their apps and control access at any time. Chrome will remember past interactions and context to deliver tailored, relevant responses. You can also add custom instructions to Gemini to refine results, making the assistant more aligned with your preferences and goals. One of the most powerful new capabilities is Chrome’s Auto Browse 2, available to AI Pro and Ultra subscribers in the U.S. This agentic feature handles complex, multi-step tasks on your behalf. Whether it’s researching flights and hotels across different dates to find the best deal, scheduling appointments, filling out forms, gathering tax documents, or renewing a driver’s license, Auto Browse takes care of the tedious work. Even more advanced, Auto Browse leverages Gemini 3’s multimodal abilities. For instance, if you’re planning a Y2K-themed party and find a photo that captures the vibe, Gemini can identify the elements in the image, search for similar items, add them to your cart, apply discounts, and even use Google Password Manager to complete purchases—when given permission. These updates mark a shift from passive browsing to active collaboration with AI, turning Chrome into a trusted partner that understands your needs and helps you get things done faster and smarter.
