Google announces launch of Skills in Chrome

Google said in a blog post: “People are using AI in Chrome to help them get more done on the web – whether that’s answering questions, comparing information or clarifying concepts. Until now, repeating an AI task – like asking for ingredient substitutions to make a recipe vegan – meant re-entering the same prompt as you visited different pages. To make this easier, we’re launching Skills in Chrome, which lets you save and reuse your most helpful AI prompts and run them with a single click… Skills are built on Chrome’s foundation of security and privacy, and they utilize the same safeguards we apply to prompts in Gemini in Chrome. That means a Skills prompt will ask for confirmation before taking certain actions, such as adding an event to your calendar or sending an email. And Skills benefit from Chrome’s layered protections, including automated red-teaming and auto-update capabilities.Your saved Skills are available on any signed-in Chrome desktop device and can be managed by typing forward slash in Gemini in Chrome and then clicking the compass icon.”
