Chrome browser can now fill in forms using data from Gmail emails
Google has begun rolling out a new Gemini-powered autofill feature in its Chrome browser. It draws on information from a user's Gmail emails to complete online forms.
Technology company Google has started rolling out a new autofill feature in its Chrome web browser, built on the company's Gemini artificial intelligence model. The addition can use information from Gmail, Google's email service, to make it easier for users to complete various online forms.
How the feature works
The new capability works together with Personal Intelligence. It automatically suggests data found in a user's emails. These include booking codes, order numbers and shipment tracking information, as well as other details.
One example is checking in for a flight: in such a situation Chrome can automatically offer the necessary information from the emails, so the user does not have to look it up and type it in manually.
What it means for users
The rollout has only just begun. The feature is intended to simplify form filling and reduce the need to search through an inbox for codes and numbers. The source material does not give detailed information on which regions will get the feature or when it will reach all users.
