The app reads your email inbox and your meeting calendar, then gives you a short audio summary. It can help you spend less time scrolling, but of course, there are privacy drawbacks to consider.

Who needs a supercomputer when you can calculate pi with a box of sewing needles? Happy Pi Day! March 14 is the date that otherwise rational people celebrate this irrational number, because 3/14 contains the first three digits of pi. And hey, pi deserves a day. By definition, it's the ratio of the circumference and diameter of a circle, but it shows up in all kinds of places that seem to have nothing to do with circles, from music to quantum mechanics. Pi is an infinitely long decimal number that never repeats.

I Let Google's'Auto Browse' AI Agent Take Over Chrome. Auto Browse can shop for clothes, plan a trip, and buy tickets for you. So, while testing Google's new "Auto Browse" feature for Chrome, I was filled with a strange sense of loss as I watched the AI agent open browser tabs and attempt to complete digital tasks with automated clicks. Sure, I felt some loss of control as the bot tapped away on my laptop screen. But also a kind of preemptive nostalgia for how the internet currently works, flaws and all, considering Google's plans to fundamentally alter the user experience.

Google's latest addition to its Chrome browser puts generative AI behind the wheel and you in the passenger seat. Google debuted a new "Auto Browse" feature for Chrome on Wednesday. The tool, powered by Google's current Gemini 3 generative AI model, is an AI agent designed to take over your Chrome browser to help complete online tasks like booking flights, finding apartments, and filing expenses. The release of Auto Browse is part of Google's continued integration of AI features into Chrome. Last year, Google dropped the "Gemini in Chrome" mode to answer questions about what's on web pages and synthesize details from multiple open tabs.

Google Chrome is launching agentic AI "autobrowsing" that automates web tasks like form filling, reservations, and license renewals for paid Google AI subscribers. PCWorld reports that a new Gemini AI sidebar will be available to all Chrome users, accessing personal data from Gmail and other apps.

PCWorld reports on a Chrome extension called "Microsoft to Microslop" that renames Microsoft references in browsers as a protest against the company's aggressive AI integration. The extension reflects widespread user frustration with Microsoft's Copilot AI, which faces extremely low adoption rates and growing privacy concerns among Windows users. Many users actively seek ways to remove AI features from Windows, highlighting significant backlash against Microsoft's AI strategy despite CEO dismissals of complaints. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella says we shouldn't think of LLM output as "slop." You know, AI-generated content, the thing that's making the internet worse in every measurable way, and causing consumer electronics prices to skyrocket? So it would be a real shame if you installed an extension in your browser that changed "Microsoft" to "Microslop" all over the web. Yes, installing " Microsoft to Microslop " would be a naughty and entirely cynical response. Especially if you, say, used Edge's Chromium base to install it in Microsoft's own default web browser, Edge. That would just be twisting the AI-generated knife, wouldn't it?

Chrome for Android now uses Google Gemini to convert webpages into podcast-style summaries with virtual hosts for hands-free browsing during commutes.

GPU prices could follow RAM's big rise Google's Gemini AI comes to Chrome on iPhone and iPad It can summarize pages, create a FAQ on a topic and modify recipes for your dietary needs. After rolling it out on desktop and Android earlier in 2025, Google is finally bringing its built-in Gemini AI experience to iPhone and iPad. It offers new features like summarizing pages and helping you test your knowledge about a subject you're learning. As with any AI tool, though, it shouldn't be trusted for anything important given the possibility of hallucinations and other errors. When it arrives on your iOS device, tapping the spark icon at the left of the address bar (in place of the Google Lens camera) brings up a Pages tool that offers Lens and the new feature, Ask Gemini.

Google Chrome now offers enhanced autofill for passports, driver's licenses and vehicle registration, joining existing options for passwords and payment details.
