Google announced on August 18, 2026, that Gemini in Chrome, its browsing assistant, is now available to all Android users in the US1. It summarizes long articles, answers questions about web pages, and connects with Google apps including Calendar and Keep without switching tabs, and it can customize and generate images with Nano Banana1.
AI Pro and AI Ultra subscribers on Android in the US can also use auto browse, the agentic capability that handles tedious everyday tasks — the examples given are booking parking for an event, updating a recurring online order, and organizing travel1. Google says the features are built to be secure by design and that its models are trained to detect known threats such as prompt injection, and that auto browse is designed to ask for confirmation before completing some sensitive tasks1. It is reached from the Gemini icon or the three-dot menu on the top bar1.
