Gemini Spark Can Now Browse the Web Inside Chrome
Google has connected Gemini Spark directly to Chrome. The new capability is called Chrome auto browse, and it lets Spark work inside the browser you are already signed in to. With your permission, Spark can use your logged-in accounts and saved passwords to handle tedious web errands. Google's own two examples are scheduling viewings for apartments you have saved, and researching flight options and starting the booking process.
