Google rolled out Gemini 3‑powered features across Chrome for macOS, Windows and Chromebook Plus. A new side‑panel keeps the AI assistant visible while you work, letting users compare products, summarize reviews or pull calendar slots without swapping tabs. Parisa Tabriz, Chrome VP, frames the change as a multitasking boost.

The update also embeds Nano Banana, letting Chrome transform images on‑the‑fly via simple prompts—ideal for quick infographics or interior‑design mockups. Deeper Connected Apps links to Gmail, Calendar, YouTube and Google Flights enable one‑click flight bookings or email drafts. A forthcoming Personal Intelligence layer will retain conversation context for proactive assistance.

AI Pro and Ultra subscribers in the U.S. gain access to auto browse, an agentic tool that fills forms, aggregates travel options and even adds items to carts using Gemini’s multimodal reasoning. Google pairs this with new security prompts and the Universal Commerce Protocol, an open standard co‑developed with Shopify, Etsy, Wayfair and Target, to keep transactions safe.
