Google brings Gemini in Chrome features to Android devices: All details

Google is set to introduce Gemini-powered features in Google Chrome for Android in India and other markets. With this update, the tech giant is expanding its AI-driven browsing capabilities to mobile users. The update will bring several tools designed to assist users while browsing, including summarisation, contextual queries and task-based actions. These features are built on the Gemini 3.1 model and aim to make mobile browsing more interactive by integrating AI directly within the browser interface.With this update, Chrome on Android will include a built-in assistant that understands webpage content and responds to user prompts without requiring them to switch apps. The feature is designed to support everyday tasks such as reading long articles, gathering information and managing workflows across different Google services.The Gemini integration in Chrome will be available on select Android devices running Android 12 or later. While the initial rollout is expected to begin in the US, the features are likely to expand to other regions, including India, in subsequent phases.Users can access the AI assistant by tapping the Gemini icon in the Chrome toolbar. Once activated, the assistant opens in a panel at the bottom of the screen, allowing users to ask questions about the webpage they are viewing, request summaries or seek explanations for specific topics.The assistant is also designed to work across Google services. It can help users add events to their calendar, save information to Keep or retrieve details from Gmail, depending on the context of the query. Google notes that these features are intended to offer context-aware assistance while maintaining user control and privacy.In addition, Chrome will introduce “auto browse,” which allows the assistant to carry out certain actions on behalf of the user. However, it will require confirmation before completing sensitive tasks such as transactions or posting content online.The update also includes support for image-based interactions via the Nano Banana feature. This enables users to edit or generate visuals right in the browser. For example, users can request transformations, such as turning a web page's content into an infographic or editing an image to show different scenarios.Google has also highlighted the security features built into these functionalities, such as defences against prompt injection and other emerging threats. These safeguards help keep your AI-powered interactions safe while you’re browsing.
