You Can Chat with Gemini Directly in Chrome’s Search Bar; Here’s How
May. 1, 2024Google is swiftly integrating AI features into Chrome. Earlier, Google announced threenew AI features for Chromeincluding Write Better, theme generation using AI, and smart tab organization. And now the search giant has integrated Gemini directly into Chrome’s search bar. Yes, you read that right and it works on the latest stable version of Chrome Desktop.
You have to simplytype “@”in Chrome’s search bar and choose “Chat with Gemini”. Now, you can type your prompt into the search bar and hit Enter. It will take you to Gemini’s portal and generate a response instantly. Pretty seamless, isn’t it?
This will reduce the friction greatly and users can quickly prompt Gemini and ask queries without having to open the Gemini portal. I would have loved it if Google added aTab searchto Gemini’s website. X (formerly Twitter) has this cool tab search where you type twitter.com in the address bar, and hit the “Tab” key to search whatever you want. No need to launch the website to perform a search query.
YouTube also had this feature, but Google removed it at some point. It would have been awesome if Gemini allowed quick search via the “Tab” key. Nevertheless, with “@”, you can summon Gemini into Chrome’s search bar whenever you want. Bear in mind that you must be signed into your Google account to use this feature and currently, it’s onlyavailable toChrome desktopusers. Here’s how it works.

I like Google’s approach to AI integration into Chrome. It’s a useful addition and would help users get quick access to Google’s AI model. If you want to try out a new web browser, check outArc for Windows 11. We reviewed it recently and found its UI/UX quite interesting.
