Google has just announced that it will expand the AI Gemini feature on the Google Chrome browser to 7 new markets, including Vietnam, Australia, Indonesia, Japan, Philippines, Singapore and South Korea.
This move marks a new step in the strategy of deeply integrating AI into the web browsing experience.
According to the announcement, Gemini on Chrome will be deployed for both computers and iOS in most countries, except Japan which currently only partially supports it.
Previously, this feature was launched in the US from the beginning of the year and quickly expanded to India, Canada and New Zealand.
Gemini is directly integrated into Chrome through a sidebar and a floating window, allowing users to interact with AI right during web browsing.
Users can ask questions related to multiple open tabs, receive summary answers without switching between pages.
In addition, the "Personal Intelligence" feature helps Gemini connect to services such as Gmail, Google Photos, Google Calendar and Google Maps. Thanks to that, users can perform many tasks such as scheduling meetings, checking locations, composing and sending emails right in the browser.
Another notable point is the ability to edit images directly on the web through the Nano Banana 2 tool integrated in the sidebar.
However, the advanced virtual assistant feature also allows AI to control the browser to perform tasks on behalf of users, but is still in the testing phase. Currently, this feature is only available to users of AI Pro and AI Ultra packages in the US.
The expansion of Gemini on Chrome shows that Google is accelerating the AI race, turning the web browser into a smart work platform, instead of just a traditional Internet access tool.
