Google Chrome Upgraded With Google Lens, Gemini AI-Powered Features
Google Chrome is introducing three new artificial intelligence (AI) features, making browsing even more seamless for users. These features were previously only available to paying Workspace subscribers, but now they will be accessible to all users, enhancing the overall browsing experience.
Integration of Google Lens
One of the key enhancements includes the integration of Google Lens into Chrome. This AI-powered feature allows users to perform visual searches directly from the browser. By simply selecting a portion of the screen, users can initiate a visual lookup, enabling them to explore visual matches and refine their search using parameters like color and brand. This feature is set to simplify online search processes and provide a more interactive browsing experience.
Tab Compare Functionality
Chrome is also introducing the Tab Compare feature, designed to facilitate online shopping. This AI-generated tool compiles product information from multiple tabs into a single, easy-to-compare view. Users can quickly assess product specifications, features, prices, and ratings, streamlining the decision-making process. This feature will initially be available in the US before expanding to other regions.
AI-Powered Browser History
Additionally, Chrome will now offer an AI-powered upgrade to its browser history. Users can leverage natural language queries to retrieve specific browsing information, even from incognito mode. For example, users can inquire about their past online activities using conversational prompts like "What was the last ice cream shop I visited last week?" This feature can be enabled or disabled in the settings, ensuring privacy and personalization.
These AI enhancements mark a significant step forward in improving the user experience within the Chrome browser. By integrating advanced AI capabilities, Google aims to empower users with more intuitive and efficient browsing tools.
