- Google Chrome is being upgraded with new agentic abilities.
- With Gemini in the sidebar, Chrome will soon let you access information from other Google apps and services using “Personal intelligence.”
- Gemini in Chrome will also be able to perform tasks in other apps, such as Gmail, without opening them in a separate tab.
For nearly two decades since its launch, Google Chrome has been the dominant choice as a web browser for most users. While that remains statistically true to date, newer browsers, such as Comet, Dia, and Opera Neon, have challenged its supremacy with agentic browsing. After months of teasing through other apps, Google is stepping up Chrome’s game with agentic capabilities that will browse the web — click links, scroll pages, type, and not just pull information — for you. And with this, Gemini in Chrome is also on its way to being more personalized.
Google recently rolled out Personal Intelligence to Gemini across its mobile apps and the web interface. The function allows Gemini to pull context from different Google apps, including Gmail, Photos, and more, and combine it with your chats and recent history to give you better-informed responses. Google has announced that Personal Intelligence will soon expand to Chrome, as Gemini becomes a more integrated feature accessible from within the browser.
