Gemini Spark can now use Chrome to auto browse, AI Pro access goes international - 9to5google.com
Google has updated its Gemini Spark AI agent to include Chrome auto-browse capabilities and expanded international availability for AI Pro subscribers. The tool is designed to automate web-based tasks while maintaining security protocols for sensitive user data.
Why it matters
The integration of AI agents directly into web browsers represents a shift in how users interact with the internet and perform automated digital tasks.
Gemini Spark is getting two big updates today, starting with Chrome auto browse integration on desktop.
Previously, Gemini Spark had access to a remote web browser. Google’s personal agent for automating daily tasks can now use desktop Chrome on your device to browse using logged-in accounts and saved passwords. This joins other tools like Connected Apps (Workspace and Search), Personal Intelligence, remote computer with code execution, and Canvas.
Specifically, Spark can use Chrome’s auto browse feature introduced for Gemini in Chrome earlier this year. After granting access, you’ll see a Gemini and auto browse indicator in Chrome’s top bar.
On the safety front, you have to approve payments and other sensitive actions, while the browser features protection against prompt injection.
Google’s example use cases of “tedious web errands” include “scheduling viewings for apartments you’ve saved or researching flight options and starting the booking process.”
