At Google Cloud Next on Wednesday, Google announced plans to integrate autonomous agentic capabilities into Chrome for enterprise users. The new feature, dubbed Auto Browse, leverages the Gemini AI model to analyze the live context of open browser tabs and execute web-based tasks. Users can instruct the AI to perform activities such as booking travel, inputting data into CRM systems, scheduling meetings, comparing vendor pricing, and summarizing candidate portfolios. The company emphasizes that a human must remain in the loop, requiring users to manually review and confirm any AI-generated actions before they are finalized. The primary goal is to automate tedious workflows, allowing employees to focus on strategic work. Initially, Auto Browse will be available to Google Workspace users in the United States. Organizations can enable the feature through specific policies. Google explicitly stated that prompts entered by an organization will not be used to train its AI models, addressing growing concerns about data privacy and usage. Workspace users will also be able to save common workflows as reusable Skills, accessible via a forward slash command or a plus icon. In addition to productivity tools, Google announced enhanced security measures for Chrome Enterprise Premium. The company is expanding its ability to detect unsanctioned AI tools and compromised browser extensions. This capability, referred to as Shadow IT risk detection, gives IT teams visibility into both sanctioned and unauthorized generative AI and SaaS site usage across the organization. Google aims to identify anomalous agent activity, potentially curbing the organic spread of third-party AI agents that often bypass traditional corporate controls. To assist IT administrators, Chrome Enterprise release notes will now include Gemini-generated summaries highlighting critical policy changes, upcoming deprecations, and configuration recommendations. Furthermore, Google is strengthening partnerships with Okta to reduce session hijacking risks and upgrade extension security controls. The company is also introducing Microsoft Information Protection integration to help organizations enforce consistent security policies. These updates represent a broader strategy to embed AI into the workplace browser while simultaneously securing the environment against unauthorized tools and data leaks.
