Google has officially launched its highly anticipated "Auto Browse" AI-powered browsing agent in the Chrome browser, marking a significant milestone in the company's efforts to integrate artificial intelligence into its services. The feature is initially available to AI Pro and AI Ultra subscribers, who will be able to take advantage of various benefits, including up to 200 browsing tasks per day.
The Auto Browse agent is designed to handle tedious tasks such as filling out forms, copying information from emails, and completing tasks on websites. By leveraging Google's Gemini 3 models, the AI-powered feature promises to streamline users' browsing experience while providing more efficient ways to complete routine tasks.
When you launch an Auto Browse task, Chrome will open new tabs as necessary and mark them with a sparkly AI icon, allowing you to monitor the agent's activity without needing to keep that tab in focus. The AI will ping you when the task is completed or needs your input, enabling seamless interaction between the user and the browsing experience.
However, it's essential to note that Auto Browse comes with some limitations. Google has implemented security measures to prevent misuse, but users should be aware that generative AI can make mistakes. Moreover, all content from robotically operated tabs will be streamed to a cloud-based Gemini model, which may raise concerns about data storage and usage.
In the preview phase, Chrome Auto Browse is available for free, but it's only accessible to AI Pro and AI Ultra subscribers. Google hints that this feature might become available to free users later, with strict usage limits in place.

. It sounds cool at first, but what if it makes me lazy? I mean, I pay for Chrome to be my browser, but now you're telling me it's gonna do all the work for me? 
And what about my security? Streaming data to a cloud-based model just doesn't sit right with me... like how is that even private? 
And 200 browsing tasks per day? That's just asking for trouble... I don't wanna be responsible for some AI bot getting it wrong and causing problems. 
What's the point of having an AI if we can't even control what it does? 
Auto Browse sounds like something out of a sci-fi movie, but hey, I'm all for making our lives easier. 200 browsing tasks per day, though? That's just crazy talk! 
I can already imagine my grandma using this feature to fill out her online shopping forms without me even having to help her... 
On the other hand, it's good that Google's got security measures in place to prevent any mischievous AI behavior. Can't have robots taking over our browsers just yet! 
. The idea is cool though, having an AI that can handle all those tedious tasks would be super convenient. But yeah, security is a big concern and I'm not sure if I want my data just streaming to the cloud without any clear answers on what's happening to it 
. And btw, who thought it was a good idea to put a sparkly AI icon next to a tab? 
I guess we'll just have to wait and see how this all plays out.
... do we really need a browser that's gonna start doing everything for us? I mean, what if it makes mistakes or gets our info mixed up? It sounds like a recipe for disaster 
... and what about the cloud storage aspect? Are we just giving Google free access to our browsing history? 
. And what about the potential for misinformation? My kiddos need to learn how to critically think and evaluate sources online, not just rely on AI to do it for them 
. Plus, with the cloud-based Gemini model, I'm not sure I want my data being stored somewhere I don't fully understand 
i was skeptical at first but its literally changed the game for me! no more wasting time on tedious tasks like filling out forms or copying info from emails 
. its so cool that u can just launch a task and let chrome do the work, then get notifications when its done 
. cant wait to see if they make it available to free users later
