Title: Google Is Baking Gemini AI Into Chrome

Link: https://tech.slashdot.org/story/25/05/20/2253...

An anonymous reader quotes a report from PCWorld: Microsoft famously brought
its Copilot AI to the Edge browser in Windows. Now Google is doing the same
with Chrome. In a list of announcements that spanned dozens of pages, Google
allocated just a single line to the announcement: "Gemini is coming to
Chrome, so you can ask questions while browsing the web." Google later
clarified what Gemini on Chrome can do: "This first version allows you to
easily ask Gemini to clarify complex information on any webpage you're
reading or summarize information," the company said in a blog post. "In the
future, Gemini will be able to work across multiple tabs and navigate
websites on your behalf." Other examples of what Gemini can do involves
coming up with personal quizzes based on material in the Web page, or
altering what the page suggests, like a recipe. In the future, Google plans
to allow Gemini in Chrome to work on multiple tabs, navigate within Web
sites, and automate tasks. Google said that you'll be able to either talk or
type commands to Gemini. To access it, you can use the Alt+G shortcut in
Windows. [...] You'll see Gemini appear in Chrome as early as this week,
Google executives said -- on May 21, a representative clarified. However,
you'll need to be a Gemini subscriber to take advantage of its features, a
requirement that Microsoft does not apply with Copilot for Edge. Otherwise,
Google will let those who participate in the Google Chrome Beta, Dev, and
Canary programs test it out.
