Google Chrome’s AI Agent Can Now Browse Web on Behalf of Users

Google is launching an artificial intelligence assistant on its Chrome browser that can open websites and click around on a user’s behalf.

The feature, called auto browse, will allow users to ask an assistant powered by Gemini to complete tasks such as shopping for them without leaving Chrome, said Charmaine D’Silva, a director of product. Chrome users will be able to plan a family trip by asking Gemini to open different airline and hotel websites to compare prices, for instance, D’Silva explained.
