Khaberni - Google officially announced the launch of the next wave of updates for its smart assistant "Gemini", unveiling a package of new AI-supported features that will be directly integrated into the Chrome browser, aiming to reduce the frustrations associated with daily internet browsing.
These updates are based on the "Gemini3" model, where Google introduced an always-available sidebar, deeper integration with apps, creative tools for photos, and a new browsing agent called "automatic browsing" that can perform multi-step tasks on behalf of the user.
Automatic Browsing
According to the company, the automatic browsing feature, which is a browser program designed to handle routine and time-consuming tasks, allows Chrome browser to perform these tasks instead of manually navigating through tabs, filling out forms, or comparing product prices or flights.
Automatic browsing can also search for flights and hotels across different dates, gather documents, schedule appointments, handle subscriptions, and assist in tasks like renewing a driver's license or submitting expense reports.
Google has launched this feature for subscribers of the "AI Pro" and "Ultra" packages in the United States, indicating a broader shift towards more effective AI experiences.
A new update for the "Gemini" sidebar is now available in the "Chrome" browser, redesigned and available for "macOS", "Windows", and "Chromebook Plus" systems. Instead of opening a separate tab, "Gemini" now appears alongside what you are working on, making it easier for users to multitask without interruption.
Chrome browser also seeks to enhance creativity, as Google introduces the "Nano Banana" tool for editing and creating images using AI, directly within the browser. This allows for the modification and redesign of any images without the need to download files or switch between apps, whether for prototyping or converting raw data into a graph at work.
In addition, Google's smart assistant "Gemini" in the Chrome browser enhances its connectivity with other apps, allowing integrations with Gmail, Calendar, Maps, YouTube, Google Flights, and Shopping, enabling the assistant to extract relevant information and take appropriate actions across different applications.
Google concluded its announcement with predictions about adding a personal intelligence feature to the Chrome browser in the coming months, and with user consent, the "Gemini" platform will remember the context of previous interactions to provide more personalized and proactive assistance online, while giving control over the data linked and the timing of it.
