Three new AI-assisted features that are about to be released will make using the Chrome browser a little easier and more productive.
The first is a feature that Google refers to as "tab groups," which allows users to arrange a sizable number of tabs. This feature lets Chrome automatically identify groups based on the tabs you have open. It's quite helpful when you have several tasks going on at once or are organizing a trip and, for example, looking up hotels and restaurants.
According to Google, to utilize this function, simply right-click on an active tab and choose "Organize Similar Tabs." The AI in the browser will identify tabs that are related to each other, group them together, and add a name and emoticon to make them more easily found.
Second, the company claims that by integrating an AI-powered writing helper into Chrome, users would be able to write more confidently in public settings, such as emails to businesses, social media posts, and online reviews. In order to receive writing assistance, users only need to right-click on any text field in Chrome and choose "Help me write." The AI will comprehend what you're trying to express after you input a few words and assist you in refining it.
Finally, Chrome is introducing the option to design your own themes using AI, hoping to cash in on the popularity of AI-generated wallpaper that the Google Pixel 8 ignited. Similar to the phone feature, users will be able to choose from a list of preselected words to build themes based on moods, colors, art styles, and more. An illustration of the "aurora borealis in an animated style with a serene" mood was provided by Google.
The "Customize Chrome" panel on the side should be accessed to set up an AI-created theme. Select "Change theme" and then "Create with AI."
Though the theme generator and tab organizer should be accessible in the coming days, Google states that the writing helper feature won't be available until next month.
Incorporating its new AI model Gemini, among other AI and machine learning features, Google announced that they will be available later this year.
