Google Chrome Skills

Google Chrome is introducing "Skills in Chrome," a new feature designed to make interacting with AI on the web much simpler. This tool lets people save and reuse their best AI prompts, turning them into quick actions. This means users won't have to type out long prompts again and again for things they do often, like changing recipes or comparing products on different websites.

Benefits

Skills in Chrome help users save time by letting them store and quickly access their favorite AI prompts. Instead of retyping instructions, users can activate a saved "Skill" with just a click. This feature also allows for personalization, as users can create their own Skills based on their chat history or use pre-made Skills from a library and adjust them to fit their needs. The feature is built with Google's strong security and privacy standards, similar to Gemini in Chrome, and will ask for confirmation before taking important actions.

Use Cases

Users can create their own Skills by saving prompts from their conversations. These Skills can then be used by typing a forward slash (/) or clicking a plus (+) button within Gemini in Chrome. A Skill can work on the current webpage and be applied to other open tabs. For example, people have used Skills to find out the nutritional details of recipes, compare product features on different sites, and pull out important information from long articles. Chrome also offers a "Skills library" with ready-to-use Skills for common tasks, such as finding out recipe ingredients or choosing gifts based on budget and who the gift is for.

Vibes

Early users have found Skills helpful for tasks like calculating nutritional information for recipes, comparing product specifications across multiple tabs, and extracting key information from lengthy documents.

Additional Information

Skills in Chrome are currently being made available to users on Mac, Windows, and ChromeOS. This feature works with the desktop version of Gemini in Chrome when the language is set to English-US.
