Google is working on an AI tool that aims to make using your computer much easier by handling tasks directly in your web browser. The project, called “Project Jarvis,” will be part of Google’s next release of its Gemini language model, according to Reuters. The idea is to create an assistant that can do more than just browse the web; it could eventually help control other parts of your computer. Google isn’t the only company trying to build this kind of technology—OpenAI is also developing a similar tool that can operate in your browser and automate different online activities.
With this AI, users could save time and effort by having tasks done automatically in the browser. Instead of setting up complicated systems like APIs or screen recordings to share data with an AI, you could simply give commands directly. Imagine being able to ask the AI to open a series of websites, collect information, book flights, or even shop online, and it would take care of everything—from filling out forms to clicking buttons.
If Google manages to roll out this technology successfully, it could make AI tools much more accessible, even for people with little to no technical experience. You wouldn’t need to learn complicated programming or set up special software—just type what you need the AI to do, and it would get to work, making technology easier and more intuitive for everyone.
