Google has integrated a new feature in Chrome that lets users access Gemini AI directly from the search bar. Users just have to type “@” in the desktop address bar and select Chat with Gemini. Then, you can type your prompt and Gemini will generate a response instantly.
This is the latest feature by Google to integrate AI into Chrome. Earlier, the search giant had announced three AI features for Chrome including Write Better, theme generation using AI, and smart tab organization.
By integrating seamlessly into existing workflows, it lets users quickly prompt Gemini and ask their queries without having to open any separate app or portal. This hints towards the next wave of AI adoption in which tech giants will be integrating major features into existing products and workflows thereby reducing friction.
Including Gemini into Chrome's Omnibox is a great example by Google to link its AI chatbot in with one of its biggest existing products with a massive distribution.
The announcement received a positive response from users online, with many excited to try out the new feature.
Recently, Google also expanded its Gemini app globally, making it available in over 150+ countries for both Android devices and iPhones, and adding languages and Extensions support.
