Gemini Spark Now Integrates with Chrome, Handling Browser Errands with Your Logged-In Accounts
Google has added a new “Chrome auto browse” capability to Gemini Spark, its autonomous task-execution feature, integrating it directly with the Chrome browser. Spark can now use a user’s logged-in accounts and saved passwords to handle tedious web-based errands on their behalf.
Details
- What Gemini Spark is: An AI assistant available to Google AI Pro subscribers (among others) that automates everyday tasks, with capabilities that have expanded progressively over time
- New “Chrome auto browse” feature: Built directly into the Chrome browser, letting Spark use a user’s logged-in accounts and saved passwords to handle routine web tasks
- Example tasks: Scheduling apartment viewings from saved listings, or researching flight options and starting the booking process
- Security measures: The integration includes protections against threats like prompt injection attacks, and hands critical actions — such as payments — back to the user, keeping them informed throughout
- Availability: Rolling out first in the US, then expanding access to Google AI Pro subscribers in more than 160 additional countries, with further expansion planned
- Requirements: All of this requires explicit user permission, balancing automation of routine browsing tasks with security and user oversight
How to try it
- Enable Gemini Spark through a supported plan such as Google AI Pro
- While logged into Chrome, ask Spark to handle tasks like booking an apartment viewing or researching flights
- Remember that critical actions like payments still require your own final confirmation
