Chrome for Android adding full Gemini integration and auto browse

In January, desktop Chrome gained an auto browse capability powered by Gemini. This is now coming to Chrome for Android with deeper Gemini integration.

At the moment, Android’s Gemini overlay has some integration with mobile Chrome, like “Summarize page.” The full Gemini instance is now being integrated into Chrome for Android, similar to iOS and desktop.

Next to the address bar, you’ll find a Gemini button that brings up a bottom sheet that’s part of the browser. You can ask questions about the current page, summarize, and get explanations. Gemini also lets you add events to Google Calendar, recipe ingredients into Keep, and find information in Gmail. Nano Banana integration allows for infographics and visualizations.

Then there’s auto browse, with Gemini in Chrome able to scroll, tap, and enter text to accomplish the task you give it:

When Gemini is active, you’ll see a circular indicator around the spark and a blue glow around the webpage. You can check the status on the sheet or minimize it for a docked progress bar. As always, you need to manually confirm before making purchases, posting to social media, and other sensitive actions.

Gemini in Chrome is rolling out to select devices with at least 4 GB of RAM running Android 12 or higher in the US starting at the end of June. Auto browse will be available for Google AI Pro and AI Ultra subscribers on “select devices.”
