• Google enhances Chrome with a tool that allows saving and quickly reusing AI prompts
• The new feature introduces ready-made templates and works with Gemini across multiple websites and tabs

Google announces new AI-powered capabilities for its Chrome browser through a feature called “Skills”, enabling users to save their preferred AI prompts and reuse them easily across different websites without retyping them each time.

This move comes as part of the growing integration of the Gemini model within Chrome, at a time when the browser market is witnessing increasing competition from companies such as OpenAI and Perplexity.

Gemini currently allows users to ask questions about web pages, summarize content, or perform various tasks, while the “Skills” feature adds a new layer of customization by turning repeated prompts into ready-to-use tools that can be launched with a single click.

For example, a user who regularly asks Gemini to suggest plant-based alternatives while browsing recipes can save this request as a reusable task and apply it across similar websites.

Skills can be saved directly from chat history and later accessed in Chrome by typing a forward slash (/) or clicking the plus (+) button, with the tool working on the current page or across multiple tabs simultaneously, and allowing edits at any time.

Google said early testing showed the feature being used in areas such as health and nutrition, including calculating protein in meals, comparing products, and summarizing long documents.

The company will also provide a built-in library of Skills covering common tasks in productivity, shopping, cooking, and budgeting, with full customization based on user needs.

Google confirmed that Gemini-related actions will require user approval before performing sensitive tasks, such as sending emails or adding calendar events.

The feature will roll out gradually to Chrome desktop users signed into a Google account, initially available only in English (United States).
