Google is extending its Gemini AI assistant in Chrome to desktop and iOS users across Latin America, Africa and the Middle East, beginning June 10. The rollout adds the Personal Intelligence layer, letting the model tap into linked Google apps for context‑aware replies. Users can also summon Nano Banana 2 to edit images with text prompts.

Personal Intelligence pulls data from Gmail, Calendar, Maps and Photos, enabling Gemini to draft emails, set reminders or compare information across tabs without leaving the page. Google emphasizes safeguards: the AI asks for confirmation before performing sensitive actions and employs prompt‑injection protection. The feature remains opt‑in, mirroring the desktop experience.

The expansion signals Google’s drive to embed generative AI deeper into everyday browsing, competing with Microsoft’s Copilot and Anthropic’s Claude integrations. By offering on‑device assistance that leverages a user’s existing Google ecosystem, Chrome gains a differentiated value proposition for markets where mobile data costs remain high. Enabling Gemini now gives users immediate productivity gains.

Early adopters report smoother workflow when Gemini auto‑summarizes long articles or extracts key points for later reference. The rollout also introduces tighter integration with Google’s image generation pipeline, allowing on‑the‑fly visual edits directly in the browser. As the feature spreads, Chrome’s AI toolkit could become a standard productivity layer for billions of users.
