Google AI Expands Gemini in Chrome to Android Users in India

Google has officially expanded Gemini in Chrome to all Android users in India, bringing its AI-powered browsing assistant to mobile devices after initially launching on desktop.1

The move transforms Chrome from a conventional browser into an AI-assisted platform that helps users interact with web content more efficiently without switching between tabs or applications.2

Gemini in Chrome enables Android users to summarize lengthy articles, ask questions about webpage content, and access information seamlessly. The AI-powered features in Chrome integrate with Google Keep and Google Calendar, allowing users to work across Google applications directly from their browser.1

Additionally, the browser ecosystem now includes built-in access to Nano Banana, Google's AI image generation and editing model, enabling users to customize or generate images while browsing.2

Auto Browse Brings AI-Driven Automation to Task Completion

Alongside the Android rollout, Google introduced Auto Browse in India for both desktop and Android devices, exclusively for Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers.3

This agentic feature represents a significant advancement in AI advancements, moving beyond simple webpage summarization to executing multi-step tasks across websites. Auto Browse can handle complex activities like booking parking for events, completing lengthy forms, ordering groceries, and comparing products.1

The task automation capability distinguishes Auto Browse from the general Gemini browsing assistant. While Gemini in Chrome focuses on understanding and interpreting web content, Auto Browse actively carries out selected tasks on behalf of users.2

In demonstrations shared by Google, the feature added recipe ingredients to quick commerce carts and automated form completion processes.3

Security Safeguards Address Automated Browsing Risks

Recognizing the security implications of AI-driven automation, Google has implemented multiple safeguards in Auto Browse. The company's Gemini models are trained to identify known threats, including prompt injection detection attempts that could manipulate the AI system through malicious webpage content.1

These "secure-by-design" capabilities help protect users from websites attempting to hijack the AI assistant's intended instructions.3

Before completing sensitive actions, Auto Browse requests user confirmation, maintaining human oversight throughout the process.2

Users may be prompted to review details, take over tasks manually, or grant necessary permissions before submission. This confirmation mechanism ensures that Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers retain control over automated activities while benefiting from reduced manual effort.3

Language Availability and Future Expansion Plans

Currently, Gemini in Chrome on Android is available only in US English and UK English, with Google planning to add support for additional languages over time.1

This contrasts with the desktop version, which already supports eight Indian languages including Hindi, Bengali, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Telugu, and Tamil. Auto Browse functionality is similarly limited to devices configured in English.3

The expansion to India follows Auto Browse's initial release in select global markets in January 2026, marking a significant step in Google's strategy to integrate generative AI into everyday digital services.1

As these AI-powered features mature, the distinction between AI that interprets content and AI that executes tasks will become increasingly important for users navigating the evolving browser ecosystem.2
