Google’s Chrome browser can now pull personal details from your Gmail inbox to fill out online forms for you, the company said in its announcement on Wednesday.
Key facts
- Chrome has about 65% of the browser market, and in January Google gave paying U.S. subscribers an AI browsing agent called auto browse, which clicks through websites and fills out forms on a user’s
- It runs on Gemini, Google’s AI assistant, through a feature called Personal Intelligence, which lets Gemini draw on connected apps such as Gmail and Google Photos to tailor its answers to your own
- Built with privacy in mind, Gemini and AI Mode don’t train directly on your Gmail inbox or Google Photos library,” Google said in March, when it began expanding Personal Intelligence to free U.S
- In November, users pushed back on a Smart Features setting that let Gemini analyze emails and calendars unless they opted out, and Google said it had not changed its underlying data-handling practices
Summary
Google began rolling out Chrome's enhanced autofill on Oct. 28, letting Gemini search a user's Gmail for order numbers, tracking information and flight bookings to fill web forms. The feature is available to U.S. users of Gemini in Chrome who have Personal Intelligence turned on, on desktop, Android and iOS. Google says sensitive data is encrypted and users can manage the feature in Chrome settings; its announcement does not list credit cards or addresses as data pulled from Gmail. The update, called “enhanced autofill,” suggests order numbers, tracking information, and flight bookings when a form asks for them, wrote Amanda Lim, a Chrome product manager, in the announcement.
