Google Launches Gemini 'Auto Browse' Agent for Enterprise Chrome

Google announced at Cloud Next a Gemini-powered 'auto browse' agent in Chrome for Workspace users, automating web tasks like research and booking with human review, initially in the U.S. This builds on yesterday's consumer rollout of Skills (saved prompts), AI Mode (merchant summaries), and macOS Gemini app across 3.5 billion Chrome devices (65% share), where Gemini boasts 750 million monthly users. Enhanced security, Okta partnership, and Microsoft integration aim to boost Cloud/Workspace revenue but raise privacy concerns, yielding mixed investor outlook for Alphabet.
