Overview
- Google, which began rolling out Skills on Tuesday, lets Chrome desktop users save Gemini prompts and trigger them with a forward slash or the plus button in the sidebar.
- Saved Skills run on the page you are viewing and on any tabs you select, and they can be renamed, edited, and synced across desktops where you are signed in.
- A built-in library helps people start fast, with reports citing more than 50 ready-made prompts and examples like protein counts for recipes, side-by-side product comparisons, and quick scans of long documents.
- Access is free for signed-in users with Chrome set to U.S. English on Windows, macOS, or ChromeOS, while some actions that rely on Auto-Browse may require AI Pro or Ultra subscriptions.
- Gemini asks for approval before sensitive steps such as sending emails or adding calendar events, and the move advances Google’s push to bake AI into browsing in a market where rival tools already offer reusable tasks.
