Google announced on 7 October that Gemini in Chrome, its AI browsing assistant, is now available to all Android users in India. It arrived on Chrome desktop in India earlier this year.
What Gemini in Chrome can do
- Summarise long articles and answer questions about the page you're reading.
- Connect to Google apps like Keep and Calendar — for example, adding an event from a webpage without switching tabs.
- Create or edit images using Google's Nano Banana image model.
What is "auto browse"?
Auto browse lets Gemini carry out routine web tasks for you — Google's examples include booking parking for an event, filling in long forms and ordering weekly groceries. It works on desktop and Android, but in India it's limited to Google AI Pro and AI Ultra subscribers. Google says it will ask for confirmation before completing some sensitive steps.
Language limits
For now, Gemini in Chrome on Android supports US and UK English, and auto browse only works on devices set to English. Google says more languages are planned, but Hindi and other Indian languages aren't supported yet.
Should you let AI fill forms?
Auto browse is genuinely useful for boring tasks, but be careful:
- Review everything before you confirm a payment or submission.
- Avoid using it on government portals, banking sites or anything involving Aadhaar, PAN or card details.
- Remember that websites can contain hidden instructions designed to mislead AI agents. Google says its models are trained to detect such attacks, but your final check still matters.
How to try it
Update Chrome from the Play Store and look for the Gemini icon in the address bar or menu. If you don't see it yet, the rollout may still be reaching your device.
