Google Chrome Updated With AI-Powered 'Skills' Feature That Lets Users Execute AI Tasks With a Click

Google integrated its Gemini AI chatbot in Chrome earlier this year to bring agentic AI capabilities to its browser, competing directly with Perplexity's AI-powered Comet browser. The new functionality was initially available in select regions and was later rolled out to a wider user base globally, allowing users to ask queries about the webpage they are on, conduct context-based research, or look for a specific product online directly from the Chrome browser. Now, the Mountain View company has introduced a new feature, called Skills in Chrome, which lets users enter preset queries and commands with a single click for frequently used queries, aiming to save time and user effort.
