Overview
- Google, which began rolling out Skills on Tuesday, is letting Chrome desktop users save Gemini prompts as one-click tools.
- Users can save prompts from chat history, invoke them by typing a forward slash or tapping the plus button, and run them on the current page or selected tabs.
- Saved Skills sync across signed-in desktop devices, and a built-in library offers ready-made prompts that users can add and edit for tasks like product comparisons or recipe tweaks.
- Gemini asks for confirmation before sensitive actions such as sending emails or adding calendar events, and Skills rely on Chrome’s existing security protections.
- For now, access is limited to desktop users with Chrome set to English (US), as Google extends Gemini’s page-aware features in a field where rivals offer similar reusable prompt tools.
