AI Agents in Chrome: What’s Available Now and What’s Coming Next

Gemini in Google Chrome is now rolling out to more countries beyond the U.S., including India, Canada, and New Zealand. The expansion signals Google’s push to bring AI-powered browsing to a global audience, with features like image editing through Nano Banana 2 already accessible in the sidebar.

However, the most advanced capability — agentic control — is still in limited testing. This feature allows Gemini to take over browser actions and complete tasks on your behalf, but it’s currently restricted to U.S. users on paid AI Pro and AI Ultra plans. If fully rolled out, this could mark a major shift toward autonomous browsing, where AI doesn’t just assist — it actively executes tasks for you.
