"Users who get access to this feature will see an "Ask Gemini" icon on the tab bar, which they can activate for any tab and ask questions, summarize content, or create a quiz to understand a topic. Google said that Gemini can also work across tabs. This means you can mention multiple tabs to get an answer, which is helpful when you are comparing items to shop for or tickets to buy for a trip."
"Gemini can also connect with different tools, get your information, and give more personalized answers. It can connect to Gmail, Maps, Calendar, YouTube, and other Google apps for contextual answers, too. For instance, you can directly compose an email using Gemini in the sidebar on Chrome and send it to someone without leaving the window."
"Users can also use Google's Nano Banana 2 generative AI tool directly in Gemini for Chrome to transform images. For instance, you can upload a photo of your room while buying furniture and ask the assistant to transform the image to see how an item would look in the room."
Google is expanding Gemini availability in Chrome to new regions including India, Canada, and New Zealand through a sidebar interface on desktop. The rollout introduces support for multiple Indian languages including Hindi, Bengali, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Telugu, and Tamil, alongside English. Users can activate Gemini via an "Ask Gemini" icon to ask questions about screen content, summarize information, and create quizzes. The assistant integrates with Gmail, Keep, Drive, YouTube, Maps, and Calendar for personalized responses. Cross-tab functionality enables users to compare content across multiple tabs. Additional features include image transformation using Nano Banana 2, email composition, video summarization with timestamps, and meeting scheduling capabilities.
