Google is expanding its Gemini integration inside the Chrome browser to users in the United Kingdom. Multiple outlets report that the rollout starts for Chrome on desktop, with a newly available “Ask Gemini” entry/button in the browser interface. The feature provides an in-browser AI assistant that helps users work with content they are already viewing, including summarising long text and comparing information across multiple open tabs. Several reports also describe Gemini as retaining context from past conversations while supporting tasks without leaving the current page.
In addition to general assistant capabilities, coverage says the integration connects with other Google services such as Calendar, YouTube, Gmail, and Maps, enabling actions like jumping to a specific moment in a YouTube video, drafting emails, or scheduling meetings from within the browsing experience. Google also bundles image generation via “Nano Banana,” which creates images from text prompts in the Chrome sidebar.
All sources note that the UK rollout is gradual and that support for iOS devices is planned next month, after the initial desktop launch. The feature was previously introduced in other markets, including the United States.
