Google is still working on how to make Gemini as convenient as possible for users. From its tumultuous rollout of AI overviews to its slow addition of features to Google Maps, the company seems to be perennially in the midst of a new launch for the popular AI model.
Luckily, Google seems to have knocked this one out of the park, with Gemini in Chrome now able to instantly summarize any page that you’re looking at without having to navigate to the dedicated app.
Gemini in Chrome can now summarize pages
The query shows up in the app too
If you’re tired of actually reading the websites you access on the Google Chrome browser, you are very much in luck. After previewing the feature last month, Gemini now summarizes a given web page in Chrome directly in the browser.
All you have to do is press and hold the power button while on the page, and select the newly featured Summarize Page button above the query bar, and you’ll get a helpful summary of the information that is visible on the page. You won’t get anymore than that, though, as the summary does not include information that would require you to scroll to see.
After some testing, I genuinely couldn’t find a website on which the feature didn’t appear, so it seems that users will be able to get these summaries pretty much anywhere on the internet.
Additionally, if you want to continue the conversation in Gemini later on, the page query will show up in your Gemini app, so you can keep it going. Even better, the feature isn’t exclusive to Android devices, with this and other Gemini features available on iOS devices as well.
For Gemini to summarize pages before this, you’d have to copy the URL, head on over to the Gemini app, and paste it into the query bar. Luckily, that arduous and exhausting process is in the rearview mirror thanks to this new feature.
