Gemini Google Chrome
San Francisco: Google is expanding its Gemini AI features in Chrome to India, Canada, and New Zealand, giving more users access to its built‑in browser assistant. With this update, a new Gemini sidebar appears in Chrome that lets you ask questions, summarize pages, compare tabs, or get help without switching screens.
The assistant can also pull information from apps like Gmail, Maps, Calendar, Drive, and YouTube, so you can easily draft emails, check your schedule, or get summaries of videos while you browse. It can also work across multiple tabs, which is useful for comparing products or planning trips.
A big upgrade is language support. Gemini in Chrome now works in 50+ languages, including major Indian languages like Hindi, Bengali, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Telugu, and Tamil. This means more users can interact with the AI in their preferred language.
Google has also added its AI image‑editing tool, Nano Banana 2, directly into Chrome. You can upload a photo, say, a picture of your room, and ask the AI to show how different furniture or decor would look. This reflects a broader push to embed AI capabilities directly into the browser, expanding beyond assistants into features like image editing and contextual browsing tools.
The update also brings Gemini to Chrome on iOS in India, where users will find it from the tools icon in the address bar. With these updates, Google is making Gemini a more useful everyday assistant inside the browser.
