Google is developing an intelligent assistant for its Chrome web browser that will perform specific useful activities for the user, such as bookings or purchases online.
According to The Information, Google is working on an unidentified project called “Jarvis” that aims to create an artificial intelligence that would make web navigation even easier by taking over everyday chores like seeking information, making travel reservations, or making purchases online.

Key Insights:
Essentially, the goal is to create an intelligent assistant that can be incorporated into Chrome and react to spoken or typed orders. In actuality, this implies that it might, for instance, assess different user options or fill out forms. As it gains knowledge from the user’s routines, it will eventually become more individualized, quick, and effective.
Chrome, Google’s proprietary browser and by far the most popular worldwide, would run this AI. Naturally, a Gemini multimodal model will serve as the foundation for this AI. Such an assistant’s entrance would undoubtedly save time. However, to what degree it can be configured and whether it will have access to sensitive personal data, thus protecting its users’ privacy, is still up in the air.

When it will be available?
The Information claims that although the initial tests will only be available to a select few individuals, Google may release “Jarvis” to the general public before the end of the year.
What Next?
With businesses like Anthropic unveiling a product comparable to Jarvis last month, artificial intelligence (AI) agents—systems that can perform activities without your supervision—are beginning to appear more frequently. Additionally, it has been suggested that OpenAI may be developing an agent as well; however, it is unclear how this would differ from Google’s next offering.

What are we thinking?
With businesses releasing new tools virtually every day, AI development is booming. AI search engines entered a new phase last week when ChatGPT Search was made available to Plus subscribers. However, Jarvis AI may eliminate the necessity of searching for ourselves.
