Google’s New Chrome ‘Auto Browse’ Agent Attempts to Roam the Web Without You

Google debuted a new “Auto Browse” feature for Chrome on Wednesday. The tool, powered by Google’s current Gemini 3 generative AI model, is an AI agent designed to take over your Chrome browser to help complete online tasks like booking flights, finding apartments, and filing expenses.

The release of Auto Browse is part of Google’s continued integration of AI features into Chrome. Last year, Google dropped the “Gemini in Chrome” mode to answer questions about what’s on web pages and synthesize details from multiple open tabs.

Auto Browse, which users can access by launching the Gemini sidebar in Chrome, will only be available today in the US to subscribers of Google’s monthly AI Pro and AI Ultra plans. It’s unclear when Auto Browse will become available to nonpaying users and additional countries.
