Google is reportedly developing 'Jarvis' AI that could take over your web browser
Google is rumored to be on the verge of unveiling an AI agent that has the capability to operate a web browser in order to assist users in automating their daily tasks. According to a report by The Information, the tech giant is currently working on a project codenamed Project Jarvis, which involves the development of a "computer-using agent". Sources mentioned by The Information suggest that Jarvis is designed to respond to user commands by taking screenshots of the computer screen and interpreting the content to perform actions such as clicking on buttons or inputting text.
Project Jarvis Details
Reportedly, Jarvis is tailored to work specifically with web browsers, with a focus on Google Chrome, to aid users in various common activities like online research, shopping, and flight bookings. This development comes as Google is enhancing the capabilities of its Gemini AI, with the next-gen model set to be unveiled in December, as per a report by The Verge. Gemini Live, Google's AI chatbot, recently expanded its language support to include dozens of new languages. Additionally, Gemini integration has been introduced in applications such as Google Meet, Photos, and more.
Competition from Anthropics
The revelation about Jarvis comes shortly after Anthropic introduced a similar feature for its Claude AI. Anthropics claims that its AI, Claude, has been empowered with computer skills enabling it to use a wide range of standard tools and software programs intended for human use. This feature is currently available in a public beta version.
