Google Expands Gemini in Chrome to Android Users

Google is expanding Gemini in Chrome to more Android users across the United States. The update brings several AI features directly into the mobile browser.

The wider rollout gives users access to Gemini’s multimodal capabilities within Chrome. These tools can help users understand web content, create images and complete certain online tasks.

Users can access Gemini by tapping the sparkle icon in Chrome’s top bar. The assistant can also be opened from the browser’s three-dot menu.

One of the key features is AI-powered page summarization. Gemini can shorten lengthy web pages into easier-to-read information. It can summarize articles, research papers, recipes and other online content.

Users can also ask follow-up questions about the page they are viewing. This allows them to find specific information without reading the entire webpage.

Gemini can also work with Google Workspace services. Users can connect the assistant with apps such as Google Calendar and Google Keep.

For example, Gemini can help save information from a webpage to Google Keep. It can also use relevant details to create calendar entries.

Another addition is image generation through Nano Banana. Users can create and customize images while browsing through Chrome. This feature adds creative AI tools directly to the mobile browsing experience.

Google is also introducing Auto Browse for selected users. The agentic feature is currently rolling out to Google AI Pro and Google AI Ultra subscribers on Android in the United States.

Auto Browse is designed to handle more complex online activities. Instead of only answering questions, it can navigate websites and perform multiple steps.

According to Google, the feature can help users find and book parking. It can also manage recurring orders and subscription deliveries.

Auto Browse can further assist with researching, organizing and booking travel arrangements. However, users remain involved when sensitive actions require approval.

Google has also focused on security during the rollout. Agentic browsing can face risks from malicious websites and hidden instructions.

These attacks are commonly known as prompt injection attempts. Google says its systems are trained to identify and prevent such attacks.

Auto Browse also uses confirmation checkpoints for sensitive activities. The system pauses and asks users to approve certain actions before completion.

The latest Gemini features are being enabled through a server-side rollout. Android users in the United States may therefore receive the features at different times.

Users can check Chrome for the Gemini sparkle icon. They should also update Chrome through the Google Play Store for the latest available version.
