Google adds its assistant AI Gemini to Chrome, the company announced on Tuesday on Google We/D.
Initially, Gemini will be able to “explain the complex information on the website you read or summarize information” as information Blog post from Google Labs and VP VP Josh Woodward. Google predicts that Gemini in Chrome later “will work on many tabs and navigation on your behalf of your sites.”
I saw a demo during check -in before Tuesday’s announcement. In Chrome you will see a diminutive icon of splendor in the upper right corner. Click this and the GEMINI CHATBOT window will open – it is a floating user interface that you can move and change the size. From there, you can ask questions about the website.
In the Demo Charmaine D’Olva, director of product management in the Chrome team, opened the page to the sleeping bag in Rei and clicked the suggested Gemini monitor with a list of key bag functions. The twins read the whole page and mentioned a quick summary of the bag. D’O O Silva then asked if the sleeping bag was a good option for camping in Maine, and Gemini in Chrome answered, downloading information from the rei and network.
Then D’O O Silva went to the shopping page on another retail page to get another sleeping bag and asked Gemini to compare two sleeping bags. Gemini did this and contained a comparative table.
Initially, you will be able to continue the conversation with Gemini during navigation from the tab to the tab. But “Later in the year”, Gemini in Chrome, will allow you to choose many cards at the same time and ask about them all.
D’O O Silva also showed a demo of a function that will be available in the future: the exploit of twins for navigation of websites. In the demo d’olva, he pulled the twins live in Chrome to assist in the recipe side. D’Lva asked Gemini to scroll into the ingredients, and Ai fastened to this part of the page. It also answered when D’O O Silva asked for assist in transforming the required amount of sugar from cups per gram.
In selected demonstrations, Google Gemini in Chrome seems to be useful sometimes, especially in the case of comparative tables or conversion of ingredients. I would just prefer to read the page or conduct my own research instead of reading AI Gemini’s summaries, especially since artificial intelligence can hallucifying incorrect information.
Gemini in Chrome begins on Wednesday. Initially, it will seem in Windows and MacOS in early access to users aged 18 or older who exploit English as a language. It will be available to people who subscribe to Google AI PRO and Ultra Subcriptions or Beta, Channel and Developers, Paris Tabriz, Vice President of Google and GM Chrome, said in the briefing.
When it comes to bringing Gemini to Mobile Chrome: “This is the area we will think about,” says Tabriz, but now the company is “very focused on the computer.”
Correction, May 20: Twins in Chrome can continue the conversation by going from the tab to the tab; It not only works on two tabs, as we initially informed.
