From smarter side-panel assistance to autonomous "agentic" browsing.

 

 

We are thrilled to announce major updates coming to Chrome on MacOS, Windows, and Chromebook Plus. Built on Gemini 3, our most intelligent model yet, Chrome is transforming from a general-purpose tool into a trusted, proactive partner that helps you get things done faster.

 

 

 


What's New in Chrome?
 

Auto Browse

(Preview for Pro/Ultra)

Chrome is advancing beyond simple autofill to agentic action. Auto Browse can handle complex, multi-step chores on your behalf. Whether it's researching budget-friendly flights, filling out tedious online forms, or finding a specific item and adding it to your cart, Auto Browse does the heavy lifting.

 

Security First: Auto Browse is designed to pause and explicitly ask for your confirmation before taking sensitive actions like making a purchase.

Personal Intelligence

(Coming soon)

Chrome will soon remember context from your past conversations to provide uniquely tailored, proactive assistance. You are always in control—you can opt in, choose which apps to connect, and disconnect them at any time. This transforms Chrome into a trusted partner that understands your specific needs.

The Side Panel

Gemini in Chrome now opens in a dedicated side panel, allowing you to multitask without losing your place. Compare options across too many tabs, summarize product reviews, or organize your calendar without ever leaving your primary workspace.

Nano Banana Integration

We are bringing the creative power of the Nano Banana model directly into Chrome. You can now transform images on the fly—right in the side panel—without needing to download, edit, and re-upload files.

Connected Apps

Gemini seamlessly connects with your favorite Google Apps (Gmail, Calendar, YouTube, Maps, Flights, and Shopping). Need to book a flight? Gemini can reference an old email for event dates, check Flights, and draft an email to your colleagues with your itinerary—all from the browser.


 

Availability Note: The new Gemini in Chrome is available on Windows, MacOS, and Chromebook Plus in the U.S. Auto browse is currently rolling out in preview for Google AI Pro and Google AI Ultra subscribers.
