Gemini Brings Automated Browsing and Form Filling to Android
Google is adding a feature that lets Gemini do some web tasks in Chrome on Android.
You can ask it to look for things, fill in website forms, or add items to a shopping cart.
It can also move between pages to compare choices.
Before it starts, Gemini shows you a plan of what it intends to do.
You can watch it work and stop or take over whenever you want.
It must pause before making payments or completing certain sensitive actions.
The feature requires a Google AI Pro or Ultra subscription and is available only to eligible accounts and regions.
The article says Pro users can run up to 20 tasks daily, while Ultra users can run up to 200.
Google added Gemini’s Auto Browse feature to Chrome on Android, enabling it to navigate websites and complete multi-step tasks.
The assistant can fill forms, find and add shopping items to carts, and compare booking options across supported sites.
Access requires a Google AI Pro or Ultra subscription, an eligible Android device and region, English system language, and Chrome’s Standard or Enhanced Safe Browsing.
Users can review Gemini’s proposed action plan, watch it work, and pause, stop, or take over the task at any time.
