Tools: Powerful Putting Gemini To Work In Chrome

From smarter assistance to agentic browsing, discover how the latest AI updates are making Chrome more helpful than ever.

We’re introducing major updates to Gemini in Chrome

1

for MacOS, Windows and Chromebook Plus that help you get the most out of the web. Built on Gemini 3, our most intelligent model, we’re integrating powerful new AI features in Chrome that help you multitask across the web with a new side panel experience. We’re also bringing deeper integrations across our most popular Google Apps so you can be more productive, helping on complex multi-step workflows with auto browse and, in the coming months, you’ll get more contextually relevant help with Personal Intelligence. The new Gemini in Chrome is like having an assistant that helps you find information and get things done on the web easier than ever before.

We're launching a new side panel experience so Gemini in Chrome users can always have a browsing assistant at your side, no matter what tab you're in. This can help you save time and multitask without interruption. You can keep your primary work open on one tab while using the side panel to handle a different task. Our testers have been using it for all sorts of things: comparing options across too-many-tabs, summarizing product reviews across different sites, and helping find time for events in even the most chaotic of calendars.

Gemini in Chrome now opens in a side panel, for easier multitasking.

We’re also bringing the creative power of Nano Banana directly into Chrome, allowing you to transform images on the fly without needing to download and re-upload images or open another tab. Available to all Gemini in Chrome users, just type a prompt in the side panel to explain what you’re trying to do. Use it to get creative inspiration for a living room redesign or transform research data into stunning infographics.

No need for copy-pasting or re-uploading; Gemini in Chrome uses Nano Banana to transform images in your current browser window.

Gemini in Chrome supports Connected Apps, like integrations to Gmail, Calendar, YouTube, Maps, Google Shopping and Google Flights. These deeper integrations help you get things done, quickly. For example, if you’re traveling to a conference and need to book a flight, Gemini can dig up that old email with event details, reference context from Google Flights to provide some recommendations, and later draft an email letting your colleagues know your arrival time.
