Google’s Gemini AI may soon take control of users’ browsers, potentially handling online purchases like shopping and booking flights. According to a report from The Information, this technology is part of a project codenamed “Jarvis” and would be a major step in Google’s consumer-focused AI strategy.
The new system would allow Gemini to navigate the Chrome browser autonomously. It would use virtualized clicks and screenshots to navigate, a method similar to Anthropic’s Claude AI.
Google is reportedly preparing an early preview of this capability as soon as December. A beta test will follow and focus on ensuring reliability and security for tasks involving money.
If successful, Gemini would bring unprecedented automation to daily browsing. Google aims to integrate AI into its wider ecosystem, including Chromebooks and Pixel devices.
However, the concept of AI making financial transactions independently raises concerns over security and user control, issues that Google will likely address in any trial phases.
For now, Google hasn’t officially confirmed these plans, but the project would align with its efforts to integrate AI into practical, consumer-focused functions.
