Chrome Skills: AI Prompts on Tap
14 Apr
Summary
- Chrome introduces reusable AI prompts called Skills for easier Gemini use.
- Skills save time by eliminating repetitive prompt entry in the browser.
- A Skills Library offers pre-built prompts for users to customize.
Google Chrome is rolling out a new feature called "Skills," designed to simplify the use of its integrated AI, Gemini. This addition allows users to save frequently used prompts, turning them into one-click commands accessible directly within the Chrome interface. Previously, users had to retype or copy-paste prompts repeatedly for tasks such as generating comparison tables or summarizing content.
These saved "Skills" are now available via a forward slash command or a plus button in the Gemini sidebar. The feature aims to boost user engagement with Chrome's AI tools. A complementary "Skills Library" will offer pre-made prompts that users can add to their collection and modify to suit their needs, further enhancing the convenience of AI-assisted browsing.
Skills adhere to existing security protocols, requiring user confirmation for actions like calendar updates or message sending. The rollout begins immediately for Chrome installations set to US English, without requiring a paid AI subscription. Users can opt out by not opening the Gemini sidebar.
