Google has launched Skills in Chrome, a feature that allows users to save Gemini AI prompts as reusable workflows and trigger them on any webpage with a single action. The rollout starts today for desktop users on Windows, macOS, and ChromeOS who are signed into Gemini with English set as the language. Google states it may take a few days to reach all eligible devices.
How Chrome Skills Work With Gemini
When a user writes a Gemini prompt in Chrome’s side panel that they want to reuse, they can save it directly from their chat history as a Skill. Saved Skills are accessible by typing a forward slash (/) in the Gemini side panel and selecting the desired workflow from the list.
The selected Skill runs on the currently active page. Users can also select multiple tabs to run a Skill across all of them simultaneously, allowing the same prompt to process content from several pages at once.
Skills Library and Privacy in Chrome
Google is launching a new Skills Library that offers ready-to-use workflows for common tasks. Examples include comparing product specifications side by side during shopping, calculating protein macros from online recipes, and scanning long PDFs for specific information. Users can customize these Skill templates by saving a pre-built Skill to their personal list and editing the underlying prompts to suit their needs, without starting from scratch.
For skills that handle private data, such as adding details to a calendar or drafting an email, Chrome will prompt for manual confirmation before carrying out the action. Google says that skills are built on the same security foundation as the rest of Chrome.
Skills are launching today on desktop. Google has not provided a timeline for when they will be available on mobile or support languages other than English.
