Google has unveiled a series of AI-powered features in its latest Chrome browser release, set to elevate user interactions and streamline web browsing.
The update, rolling out for Mac and Windows, introduces a writing helper, a theme creator, and a tab organiser, marking a significant leap in the integration of AI technology.
Writing assistance takes centre stage
Google's Chrome browser is set to become a wordsmith's best companion with the introduction of a sophisticated writing assistant. Users can now seek AI-powered help when crafting forum posts, business reviews, party RSVPs, and more.
A contact form for an apartment rental. The initial draft says “im interested in this place - do you allow dogs?” Chrome’s “Help me write” feature provides suggested text.
Similar to Google's experimental AI search experience, the writing helper suggests variations in tone and length, making it versatile for different online communication needs. This experimental feature, accessible by right-clicking on a text box, is slated for release in the next Chrome update.
Intelligent tab management unleashed
Chrome's Tab Groups feature receives a major upgrade with the introduction of the Tab Organizer tool. Tired of manually sorting through a multitude of open tabs? Chrome's AI comes to the rescue by automatically suggesting and creating tab groups based on the user's open tabs.
Simply right-click on a tab, select "Organize Similar Tabs," and witness the browser's intuitive grouping. Chrome even proposes names and emojis for the tab groups, making it a breeze to find and navigate through numerous open tabs. This feature is expected to enhance the browsing experience for online shoppers, researchers, and multitaskers alike.
Personalised browser themes Powered by AI
Injecting a dash of personalization into the browsing experience, the latest Chrome update introduces the ability to create personalized themes with the help of AI. Users can choose subject matter, mood, visual style, and color palette options, and the AI will generate a unique theme based on these selections.
Building on Google's earlier introduction of AI-generated wallpapers, this feature allows users to tailor Chrome's appearance to match their preferences. Pre-made themes in the Chrome gallery offer inspiration and showcase the creative possibilities.
Google doesn't plan to stop here. The tech giant has ambitious plans to integrate its Gemini AI model into the Chrome browser later this year. This move aims to further enhance the browsing experience by simplifying and accelerating common tasks. As Google continues to push the boundaries of innovation, users can anticipate even more AI-powered advancements in their favorite browser.
