Gemini in Chrome is rolling out now to Chromebook Plus devices in the US. This feature empowers business and education users with AI tools that integrate seamlessly into their daily browsing workflows while maintaining strict data governance. It’s also available to users with personal Google accounts who can access the Gemini app.
Gemini in Chrome allows users to:
- Get answers and insights: Summarize articles, clarify complex concepts, or find specific information based on the context of open tabs.
- Generate content: Draft emails and social media posts, or create images directly in the browser.
- Go Live: Engage in two-way voice conversations with Gemini Live to brainstorm ideas or prepare for meetings.
