Google adds Gemini AI tools to Chrome in browser update

This Chrome AI update places Gemini AI in Chrome as a core feature, transforming the Google Chrome AI browser into a smart assistant rather than a simple browsing tool. Google has announced that it is about to make significant additions to Gemini AI features within its Chrome browser, marking a transition to turning Chrome into an AI-assisted assistant, as opposed to a web browsing tool.

These Google Gemini AI features, including Nano Banana and Personal Intelligence Google, show how Chrome is evolving into a personalised AI browser experience. All these changes are the most definite step that Google has taken so far to make Chrome an AI browser.

Chrome will also be provided with a redesigned interface, having a permanent panel on the right-hand side, which will enable the user to use the Gemini chatbot, as they transition between sites.

Google Auto browse feature brings Agentic AI into Chrome

The most important addition is Auto browse Chrome, a Google Auto browse feature that turns Chrome into an agentic AI browser capable of completing tasks across multiple websites. The very significant addition is the Auto browse, which gives the user the opportunity to give a command to Chrome and letting it do it to a number of the websites.

Google claims that Auto browse will work well when comparing hotel prices, checking flight options, ordering groceries, or filtering property listings. In one of the examples, provided by the company, the user was able to request Chrome to look into all apartments that they had already saved on a real estate website and delete the ones that are not pet-friendly.

Auto browse shall be offered to the subscribers of Google AI Pro and AI ultra in the United States at the time of its launch. This aspect shows a broader industry trend of an agentic AI, in which systems no longer respond to user queries but instead proactively perform tasks on their behalf.

Gemini AI browser update India: Personal intelligence enables custom responses

This Chrome AI assistant update highlights how the Gemini AI browser update India could benefit users who rely heavily on Gmail, Photos and other Google services. Google is also extending its system of Personal Intelligence into Chrome. This links Gemini to user information on Gmail and Google Photos.

Parisa Tabriz, Vice President of Chrome, writes that the browser will retain context of previous interactions, which will enable Gemini to respond with more relevant and personalised replies in future. Users will also have the ability to make instructions that will regulate the behavior of the assistant.

This implies that Chrome will not be a neutral tool, but it will be more like a personal assistant that learns the user's habits and preferences.

AI-powered browser Google: Growing competition in AI browsers

With rising AI browser competition, Google is positioning Chrome as an AI-powered browser Google can use to defend its dominance in web access. The action by Google is executed when the competition on AI-powered browsers is growing. The reason why technology companies are racing to control the browser layer, is that it offers the user constant engagement and direct access to online activity.

Meanwhile, Google is experiencing regulatory pressure. In a ruling by one of the US courts last year, the company was declared to be having an illegal monopoly in search that Chrome has contributed to. Google has challenged the ruling, though remains busy adding increasingly integrated capabilities that connect Chrome to the services of other products like Maps, Calendar and YouTube. The integration of AI features makes Chrome a stronger product at the period when browsers are emerging as being strategic in AI adoption.

AI browser future Google

The AI browser future Google envisions is already taking shape with Google Chrome AI features 2026. Instead of building a new product, Google is turning its existing browser into an intelligent assistant, keeping users inside its ecosystem.
