A hands-on look at Google's Auto Browse for Chrome finds the AI agent can navigate and perform multi-step tasks, but it often doesn’t click when it should, misreads prompts (like seat selection), and requires user takeover for critical actions. While promising for automation, the tool is currently unreliable and raises security and trust concerns about relying on AI for purchases and browsing.
Google Chrome is adding a persistent Gemini side panel and an autonomous “Auto Browse” feature that can perform multi-step web tasks (such as researching prices, filling forms, scheduling, managing subscriptions, and shopping) while staying within a user-defined budget. It also brings in-browser AI image generation with Nano Banana, and Google says a future “Personal Intelligence” feature will offer more personalized help. The Gemini sidebar and Nano Banana are rolling out via a server-side update, with Auto Browse currently limited to AI Pro/Ultra subscribers in the U.S. and requiring user permission for tasks involving login credentials or sensitive actions.
