Gemini in Chrome allows users to interact with AI without leaving the webpage they are currently viewing. By clicking the Gemini icon in the top corner of the browser, users can start chatting with the AI assistant. The assistant can help answer questions, explain difficult topics, summarise long articles or webpages, and even create small quizzes to help students prepare for exams. Gemini can also assist with everyday tasks. For example, while reading a recipe online, users can ask how to modify it for a vegan diet or adjust ingredients.
Another feature allows Gemini to work across several tabs at once. This means the AI can analyse information from different webpages and combine it into a single view. It can help users compare products while shopping online or gather travel information when planning a trip.
Through Chrome’s side panel, users can even interact with apps like Gmail, Google Maps, Google Calendar and YouTube. For example, users can draft and send emails through Gmail, schedule events on Calendar, view location details from Maps, or ask questions about YouTube videos.
‘Gemini in Chrome is designed to keep you in control, and was built with security in mind from the start. We’ve trained our models to recognise known threats, like prompt injection, in order to keep you safe as you browse,’ the tech giant explained. ‘We’ve also built safeguards to ask for confirmation before taking certain sensitive actions, like sending an email or adding an event to your calendar.’
