Google Introduces ‘Auto Browse’ AI Agent for Chrome Browser

Google has launched a new feature called ‘Auto Browse’ for its Chrome browser that integrates generative AI to automate web browsing tasks, according to WIRED.

The feature represents Google’s latest effort to incorporate AI agents into consumer products, positioning the technology to navigate websites autonomously while users take a passive role. According to WIRED, the new addition “puts generative AI behind the wheel and you in the passenger seat.”

While WIRED confirms the feature’s existence and its general functionality of enabling AI-driven web navigation without direct user intervention, the source does not provide specific details about the feature’s capabilities, availability, or technical implementation.

The development follows broader industry trends of major tech companies integrating AI agents into their products to automate routine tasks. However, the extent of Auto Browse’s autonomous capabilities and its practical applications remain unclear from the available reporting.

Google has not been quoted in the source material regarding the feature’s intended use cases, privacy considerations, or rollout timeline.
