Google Gemini 3: Chrome gets smarter with new AI tools
Google just rolled out Gemini 3-powered features in Chrome for macOS, Windows, and Chromebook Plus users.
The update brings a handy side panel for multitasking, an Auto Browse agent to handle tasks for you, Nano Banana for quick image edits, Connected Apps that sync with Gmail and Calendar, plus a Personal Intelligence feature coming soon.
Multitask like a pro
The new side panel lets you compare products across tabs or find meeting times without jumping between windows.
If you're an AI Pro or Ultra US subscriber, the Auto Browse agent can plan trips, fill forms, schedule appointments—even shop from photos—and, with permission, can use Google Password Manager and includes security controls (like user confirmations) for sensitive actions.
New ways to edit and connect
Nano Banana lets you tweak images in your current browser window using just text prompts—no downloads needed.
With Connected Apps, Chrome can pull info from Gmail, Calendar, YouTube and more to help draft emails or cross-check details.
All these updates are part of Google's push to make your browser do more heavy lifting for you.
