Chrome adds AI autofill that searches your Gmail
TechCrunch: Chrome’s AI-powered Autofill can now dig through your Gmail to fill out forms
The autofill update lets Chrome pull flight confirmations, tracking info, order details, and other information from your inbox, with your permission.
What happened
Google's Chrome browser is expanding its AI-powered autofill feature to search through users' Gmail inboxes and pull information like flight confirmations, tracking numbers, order details, and addresses to suggest when filling out online forms. The feature uses Gemini with Personal Intelligence capabilities and is rolling out to desktop users in the United States and through iOS and Android versions of Gemini in Chrome. Users can enable or disable the feature through browser settings, and Google states that sensitive data is encrypted.
What each outlet adds
- TechCrunch ↗: The update expands Google's Personal Intelligence system, which already connects Google Apps to its AI assistant to help answer complex questions.
- The Verge ↗: This follows improvements made last year that added the ability to source name, passport number, email address, and physical addresses from Google Accounts and services like Google Wallet.
Why it matters
The feature eliminates the need for users to manually search through confirmation emails to find information needed for online forms. This represents an expansion of how Google's AI systems integrate across its services to access and use personal data.
