Google is adding its Gemini AI assistant to Chrome, the company announced at Google I\/O on Tuesday. <\/p>\n

Initially, Gemini will be able to \u201cclarify complex information on any webpage you\u2019re reading or summarize information,\u201d according to a blog post<\/a> from Google Labs and Gemini VP Josh Woodward. Google envisions that Gemini in Chrome will later \u201cwork across multiple tabs and navigate websites on your behalf.\u201d<\/p>\n

I saw a demo during a briefing ahead of Tuesday\u2019s announcement. In Chrome, you\u2019ll see a little sparkle icon in the top right corner. Click that and a Gemini chatbot window will open \u2014 it\u2019s a floating UI that you can move and resize. From there, you can ask questions about the website.<\/p>\n

In the demo, Charmaine D\u2019Silva, a director of product management on the Chrome team, opened a page for a sleeping bag at REI and clicked on a suggested Gemini prompt to list the bag\u2019s key features. Gemini read the entire page and listed a quick summary of the bag. D\u2019Silva then asked if the sleeping bag was a good option for camping in Maine, and Gemini in Chrome responded by pulling information from the REI page and the web.<\/p>\n

After that, D\u2019Silva went to a shopping page on another retailer\u2019s website for a different sleeping bag and asked Gemini to compare the two sleeping bags. Gemini did that and included a comparison table.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll initially be able to keep a conversation going with Gemini as you navigate from tab to tab. But \u201clater in the year,\u201d Gemini in Chrome will let you select multiple tabs at once and ask a question about all of them.<\/p>\n

D\u2019Silva also showed a demo of a feature that will be available in the future: using Gemini to navigate websites. In the demo, D\u2019Silva pulled up Gemini Live in Chrome to help navigate a recipe site. D\u2019Silva asked Gemini to scroll to the ingredients, and the AI zipped to that part of the page. It also responded when D\u2019Silva asked for help converting the required amount of sugar from cups to grams.<\/p>\n

In Google\u2019s selected demos, Gemini in Chrome seems like it could occasionally be useful, especially with comparison tables or in-the-moment ingredient conversions. I\u2019d rather just read the website or do my own research instead of reading Gemini\u2019s AI summaries, especially since AI can hallucinate incorrect information<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Gemini in Chrome is launching on Wednesday. It will initially release on Windows and macOS in early access to users 18 or older who use English as their language. It will be available to people who subscribe to Google\u2019s AI Pro and Ultra subscriptions or users of Chrome\u2019s beta, canary, and dev channels, Parisa Tabriz, Google\u2019s VP and GM of Chrome, said in the briefing.<\/p>\n

As for bringing Gemini to mobile Chrome, \u201cit\u2019s an area that we\u2019ll think about,\u201d Tabriz says, but right now, the company is \u201cvery focused on desktop.\u201d<\/p>\n

Correction, May 20th<\/strong>: Gemini in Chrome can keep a conversation going as you move from tab to tab; it doesn\u2019t only work across two tabs, as we initially reported.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Google is adding its Gemini AI assistant to Chrome, the company announced at Google I\/O on Tuesday.
