Three new AI-assisted features that are about to be released will make using the Chrome browser a little easier and more productive.

The first is a feature that Google refers to as "tab groups," which allows users to arrange a sizable number of tabs. This feature lets Chrome automatically identify groups based on the tabs you have open. It's quite helpful when you have several tasks going on at once or are organizing a trip and, for example, looking up hotels and restaurants.

According to Google, to utilize this function, simply right-click on an active tab and choose "Organize Similar Tabs." The AI in the browser will identify tabs that are related to each other, group them together, and add a name and emoticon to make them more easily found.

Second, the company claims that by integrating an AI-powered writing helper into Chrome, users would be able to write more confidently in public settings, such as emails to businesses, social media posts, and online reviews. In order to receive writing assistance, users only need to right-click on any text field in Chrome and choose "Help me write." The AI will comprehend what you're trying to express after you input a few words and assist you in refining it. 

Finally, Chrome is introducing the option to design your own themes using AI, hoping to cash in on the popularity of AI-generated wallpaper that the Google Pixel 8 ignited. Similar to the phone feature, users will be able to choose from a list of preselected words to build themes based on moods, colors, art styles, and more. An illustration of the "aurora borealis in an animated style with a serene" mood was provided by Google.

The "Customize Chrome" panel on the side should be accessed to set up an AI-created theme. Select "Change theme" and then "Create with AI."

Though the theme generator and tab organizer should be accessible in the coming days, Google states that the writing helper feature won't be available until next month.

Incorporating its new AI model Gemini, among other AI and machine learning features, Google announced that they will be available later this year.

Over the last few years, we’ve brought the latest machine learning and AI technologies into Chrome to make searching the web easier, safer, and more accessible. We started with improving practical, everyday tasks, like helping you add real-time captions to videos, better detect malicious sites, manage permission prompts, and generate the key points of a webpage.  Starting with today’s release of Chrome (M121), we're introducing experimental generative AI features to make it even easier and more efficient to browse — all while keeping your experience personalized to you.  You’ll be able to try out these new features in Chrome on Macs and Windows PCs over the next few days, starting in the U.S. Just sign into Chrome, select “Settings” from the three-dot menu,u, and navigate to the “Experimental AI” page. Because these features are early public experiments, they’ll be disabled for enterprise and educational accounts for now.

Smartly organize your tabs

Tab groups are a helpful way to manage lots of tabs, but curating them can be a pretty manual process. With a new tab organizer feature, Chrome will automatically suggest and create tab groups based on your open tabs. This can be particularly helpful if you’re working on several tasks in Chrome at the same time, like planning a trip, researching a topic, and shopping. To use this feature, right-click on a tab and select “Organize Similar Tabs” or click the drop-down arrow to the left of your tabs. Chrome will even suggest names and emojis for these new groups so you can easily find them again when you need them next.

Create your own themes with AI

Last year, we introduced generative AI wallpapers with Android 14 and Pixel 8 devices. Now we’re bringing that same text-to-image diffusion model to Chrome so you can personalize your browser even more. You’ll be able to quickly generate custom themes based on a subject, mood, visual style and color that you choose — no need to become an AI prompt expert! To get started, visit the “Customize Chrome” side panel, click “Change theme” and then “Create with AI.” For example, maybe you’re enamored with the “aurora borealis” and want to see it in an “animated” style with a “serene” mood. Just select those options to see what Chrome comes up with. For more inspiration, check out this collection of the Chrome team’s favorite theme creations.

Get help drafting things on the web

Writing on the web can be daunting, especially if you want to articulate your thoughts on public spaces or forums. So in next month's Chrome release, we’ll launch another experimental AI-powered feature to help you write with more confidence on the web — whether you want to leave a well-written review for a restaurant, craft a friendly RSVP for a party or make a formal inquiry about an apartment rental. To get started, right-click a text box or field on any site you visit in Chrome and select “Help me write.” Type in a few words and our AI will kickstart the writing process for you.
