Google is working on a new AI tool, dubbed “Project Jarvis,” that can use web browsers to help with tasks like online research and shopping. It may be shown as early as December with Google’s new Gemini model, reports The Information.
Google’s new browser-based AI tool promises to simplify online research and tasks by eliminating the need for APIs or complex setups. Users will be able to simply type commands, allowing the AI to manage a range of tasks effortlessly.
From filling out forms and clicking buttons to gathering information into easy-to-read tables, the AI streamlines the online experience. It can also handle booking flights and making purchases, making it easier than ever for users to navigate the web without hassle.
With the ability to open relevant web pages and perform various online tasks, this tool aims to make AI accessible to everyone, even those with no previous experience. By allowing users to control it directly from their browser, Google could transform how we interact with technology, making powerful AI tools easy and efficient for everyday use.
Other than Google’s plans for a browser-based AI, there are also rumors that Anthropic and Google are working on an AI agent that can take control of your computer, handling tasks like opening and arranging your work apps.
However, this raises important privacy and security concerns, just like Microsoft’s controversial Recall feature. With sensitive information like emails, work files, and banking details online, Google must implement strong protections for Project Jarvis and its future tools to keep your personal data safe.
The Information also shared that Google’s plan to unveil Jarvis in December may change. The company is also considering a limited release to testers to identify and fix any issues.
