Google is bringing AI directly into Chrome with new “auto browse” capabilities powered by Gemini. The browser will now understand your open tabs and help with tasks like booking travel, scheduling meetings, and data entry.
What Auto Browse Does
Chrome users can leverage Gemini to understand context in their open browser tabs, then delegate tasks like booking business travel, inputting data, or scheduling meetings. The feature launches initially for U.S. Workspace users.
New Security Features
- Shadow IT detection — Identify unsanctioned AI tools in your organization
- Anomalous agent activity monitoring — Detect compromised browser extensions
- Microsoft Information Protection integration — Consistent data policies across platforms
New TPU Chips
Google also unveiled TPU 8t and TPU 8i, custom silicon designed for LLM training and inference. TPU 8t addresses memory access issues that have hindered AI deployment.
Why It Matters
Chrome is the world’s most-used workplace browser. Infusing AI directly into it changes how we work—turning the browser from a navigation tool into an AI coworker.
