Using Gemini AI in Chrome
Google has stated that the Gemini AI assistant will be seamlessly integrated into the browser interface. Users can initiate the chat feature by clicking on the Gemini icon located in the top-right corner. This feature acts as a user’s personal browsing assistant, capable of summarising articles, answering questions, and even recalling previously visited pages.
Enhanced Multitasking Features
One of the most notable functionalities is its ability to operate across multiple tabs simultaneously. This makes it easier for users to compare information efficiently. For example, it can assist users in creating product comparisons among various shopping platforms.
