  • Google adds Gemini-powered AI features to Chrome with persistent sidebar and autonomous tasks
    January 29, 2026, 6:06 AM EST. Google is integrating Gemini into Chrome with a persistent AI sidebar that lets users ask about the current site and open tabs. The feature treats multiple tabs as a context group for tasks like price comparisons. After a Windows/macOS debut, the rollout extends to Chromebook Plus devices. A new personal intelligence function links to Gmail, Search, YouTube and Google Photos, enabling asks about personal data and the ability to draft emails without leaving Chrome. A Nano Banana image-editing tool layers new visuals over existing ones. The centerpiece, auto-browse, would navigate sites to complete tasks, seeking user input for sensitive steps. The rollout targets AI Pro and Ultra subscribers in the U.S., with real-world reliability still evolving.
