Turn your best AI prompts into one-click tools in Chrome
Revolutionizing AI-Powered Browsing: Introducing Skills in Chrome
Imagine being able to instantly access and reuse your most helpful AI prompts with a single click, streamlining your browsing experience and unlocking a world of productivity. This is now a reality with the launch of Skills in Chrome, a game-changing feature that allows you to discover, save, and remix AI workflows, making them instantly repeatable.
As AI continues to transform the way we interact with the web, Chrome has been at the forefront of harnessing its potential. With Skills, Chrome takes the next step in empowering users to get more done on the web, whether that's answering questions, comparing information, or clarifying concepts. By saving and reusing AI prompts, users can create personalized and powerful workflows that make their browsing experience more efficient and effective.
Building Your Own One-Click Workflows
When you write a prompt that you'll want to use again, you can save it as a Skill directly from your chat history. The next time you need it, select your saved Skill in Gemini in Chrome by typing forward slash ( / ) or clicking the plus sign ( + ) button, and your Skill will run on the page you're viewing, along with any other tabs you select. You can edit your saved Skills and create new ones at any time, giving you the flexibility to adapt to changing needs and workflows.
Early testers have used Skills in Chrome to create a wide range of workflows, from health and wellness to productivity and shopping. For example, users have quickly calculated protein macros for any recipe, generated side-by-side spec comparisons across multiple tabs, and scanned lengthy documents for important information. These are just a few examples of the many possibilities that Skills in Chrome offers.
Get Started with Our Skills Library
We're also launching a library of ready-to-use Skills for common tasks and workflows. These Skills are designed to help you get started quickly and easily, without having to create your own from scratch. Want to break down the ingredients of a product you're viewing online? Or select the perfect gift from multiple options by cross-referencing your budget with the recipient's interests? We've written Skills that do these things and more. If you find one that looks interesting, you can add it as a saved Skill and give it a try. And if you want to customize it to better fit your needs, you can edit the Skill and update the prompt.
Stay in Control
Skills are built on Chrome's foundation of security and privacy, and they utilize the same safeguards we apply to prompts in Gemini in Chrome. That means a Skills prompt will ask for confirmation before taking certain actions, such as adding an event to your calendar or sending an email. And Skills benefit from Chrome's layered protections, including automated red-teaming and auto-update capabilities.
Starting Today: Rolling Out Skills to Gemini in Chrome on Desktop
Starting today, we're rolling out Skills to Gemini in Chrome on desktop, helping you streamline your AI-powered browsing. Your saved Skills are available on any signed-in Chrome desktop device and can be managed by typing forward slash ( / ) in Gemini in Chrome and then clicking the compass icon.
Implications and Future Directions
The launch of Skills in Chrome marks a significant milestone in the evolution of AI-powered browsing. By empowering users to create and reuse AI workflows with a single click, we're unlocking a world of productivity and efficiency. As AI continues to transform the way we interact with the web, we'll see even more innovative applications of Skills in Chrome. We're excited to see how users will harness the power of Skills to create new workflows and solve complex problems.
The future of AI-powered browsing is bright, and Skills in Chrome is just the beginning. With this feature, we're redefining the way we interact with the web, making it more efficient, effective, and enjoyable. As we continue to push the boundaries of what's possible with AI, we're confident that Skills in Chrome will become an essential tool for anyone looking to get more done on the web.
