Google just released three new generative AI-powered experimental features for its Chrome browser. Now you can use them to organize your tabs (you know you have too many open, right?), customize your themes, and (of course) get help with your web writing.
Google Chrome AI updates 2024: Hands-on with Chrome's AI features
With the new version of Chrome, M121, you can enable these features with a few simple clicks. Simply navigate to Settings from the three-dot menu in the upper-right corner of your browser, navigate to Experimental AI, and then toggle on the new capabilities. However, they are currently disabled for Business and Education accounts. You should see the option on Macs and Windows PCs “in the next few days,” Chrome VP Parisa Tabriz said in a statement.
Sure, you’ve been organizing your tabs with Tab Groups for a while now, but creating them can be a bit of a hassle. With Tab Organizer enabled, Chrome can now automatically suggest and create tab groups based on the tabs you have open. To do this, right-click on any open tab and choose “Organize Similar Tabs” (or just click the dropdown arrow to the left of all your tabs in Chrome). The browser will suggest names (or even cute little emojis) to label the groups for easy access later.
If you fell in love with the AI-generated wallpapers in Android 14 and on Pixel 8 devices, you’ll love Chrome’s new text-to-image capability. Create your own themes “based on a theme, mood, visual style, and color of your choice.” Head to the Customize Chrome sidebar, click “Change theme,” then “Create with AI.” The options are all there, with plenty of styles and moods to choose from, no text prompt necessary. Google even has a collection of the team’s favorite AI-generated themes for you to browse before you jump into creating your own.
