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.
