Chrome is the most popular browser in the world, and the competition is not even close. So the browser is a key part of Google's efforts to get everyone using its AI tools. The company's chatbot has already infused various parts of the Chrome UI, and you can even turn Gemini loose to control the browser. The latest AI addition to Chrome comes in the form of "Skills," reusable prompts you can access while browsing with a single click.
Skills don't so much add new functionality as they make it easier to repeat tasks that were already possible with Gemini in Chrome. Previously, you would have to reenter the prompt each time you wanted Gemini to do something in Chrome; whether that meant typing it or copy-pasting from a saved document, you had to do it manually. Saving those favorite prompts as Skills in Chrome makes them quicker and easier to access.

As long as you're logged in to your Google account, you can type forward slash ( / ) in Gemini or click the plus button to bring up your saved Skills. Simply click, and it will run in the current tab. You can also add additional tabs if it's a skill that pulls from multiple sources.
