How to Automate Your Chrome Browser with Gemini

In Chrome, click the three dots in the top right, then go to Settings > AI Innovations > Gemini in Chrome.

Turn on these two settings first:

• Show Gemini at the top of the browser
• Share current tab with Gemini

If you have Google AI Pro, also turn on “Let Gemini browse for you.” That toggle unlocks browser automation. The first two settings are the ones most people should start with.

Open a few tabs on the same topic. The source example uses three standing desks, each on its own product page.

This works best when the tabs are clearly comparable. Products, pricing pages, hotel options, or software plans are good examples. The less cleanup Gemini has to do, the better the answer will be.

Click Gemini at the top of Chrome to open the side panel. In the message box, type @ and attach each tab you want Gemini to use.

Compare these desks and tell me which one has the best features for the best price.

This is the easy version of browser automation. Gemini is not roaming the web on its own. You are giving it the exact tabs to work from.

The source example also tested Gemini extracting and comparing several recipe tabs, then using Chrome automation to find more recipe recommendations.

Gemini will compare the tabs and give you a recommendation. This works even without Google AI Pro because you are sharing the tabs directly.

If the answer is too vague, ask a follow-up:

Now rank them from best to worst and explain the tradeoffs.

If you have Google AI Pro and the toggle is available, you can go one step further. Ask Gemini to browse for a better option for you.

Gemini will send you a plan first. Read that plan carefully before you approve it.
