"Google debuted a new "Auto Browse" feature for Chrome on Wednesday. The tool, powered by Google's current Gemini 3 generative AI model, is an AI agent designed to take over your Chrome browser to help complete online tasks like booking flights, finding apartments, and filing expenses. The release of Auto Browse is part of Google's continued integration of AI features into Chrome."
"Auto Browse, which users can access by launching the Gemini sidebar in Chrome, will only be available today in the US to subscribers of Google's monthly AI Pro and AI Ultra plans. It's unclear when Auto Browse will become available to nonpaying users and additional countries. Google's rollout squares with Silicon Valley's vision for the future of web browsing, which includes a whole lot more AI and a whole lot less of you."
"In a prelaunch demo, Charmaine D'Silva, a director of product management for Chrome, showed me an example of Auto Browse helping her shop online. "Instead of having to remember where I bought something and try to reorder something," she said, "I can now delegate to Auto Browse within Gemini to be able to go ahead and buy jackets for me.""
Auto Browse is a Chrome feature powered by Gemini 3 that autonomously completes online tasks such as booking flights, finding apartments, filing expenses, and shopping. Users can launch Auto Browse from the Gemini sidebar in Chrome. The initial rollout is limited to US subscribers of Google's AI Pro and AI Ultra plans, with broader availability and free access not yet announced. Auto Browse takes control of the browser and simulates clicks to navigate pages and execute tasks. The feature represents a further step in integrating generative AI directly into mainstream web browsing experiences.
