Google has introduced a new artificial intelligence feature called “Skills” in its Chrome browser, enabling users to save and reuse frequently used AI prompts as repeatable workflows. The update builds on Chrome’s integration with Google’s Gemini AI, aiming to make everyday browsing tasks faster and more efficient.
The new feature allows users to turn commonly used prompts—such as summarizing articles, comparing products, or rewriting content—into reusable “Skills” that can be executed across different web pages without retyping them. This eliminates repetitive manual input and streamlines AI-assisted tasks.
Users can create these Skills directly from their Gemini interactions and run them with a single command or click. The feature also supports execution across multiple tabs, enabling more advanced workflows like comparing information from several websites simultaneously.
Google is also offering a built-in library of pre-designed Skills for common use cases, which users can customize based on their needs. These include tasks such as summarizing content, extracting insights, or generating structured outputs, making the feature accessible even to those without prompt-engineering experience.
The launch reflects a broader shift toward embedding AI directly into core software products, turning browsers into productivity platforms rather than just tools for accessing information. By allowing users to create and reuse AI workflows, Chrome is positioning itself as a central hub for AI-powered work and automation.
This move also comes amid increasing competition in the AI browser space, with companies like OpenAI, Perplexity, and The Browser Company developing AI-first browsing experiences. Google’s latest update highlights its strategy of integrating AI deeply into existing products to maintain its leadership in the browser ecosystem.
