Google is rolling out Gemini in Chrome for Android as an agentic browsing experience to eligible U.S. users, starting in late June 2026. This new feature allows Gemini to summarize web pages, answer questions about the current page, connect with Google apps like Calendar, Keep, Gmail and Maps, and automate selected tasks through its Auto Browse capability.

Gemini in Chrome is designed to work more closely with the browser context, helping users complete tasks while browsing. The initial launch is limited to Android devices running Android 12 or higher with at least 4GB of RAM, and is available to users who have signed in to Chrome and are not using Incognito mode. Google emphasizes that the feature includes security protections and user confirmation prompts for sensitive actions, but does not specify which actions are considered sensitive.

Enterprises should note that while Google provides some support guidance, specific admin controls and management settings for work accounts are not detailed in the announcement.
