Google Chrome Gets Three New Generative AI Features

If you’re one of those people anticipating what kind of special sauce AI would bring to Google’s web browser, you now have an answer – the new Chrome v121 update brings three new features utilizing generative AI, including tab organizing, theme generation, and helping you draft texts.

As with AI features, Google is taking a cautious approach by first labeling them as experimental. You’ll be able to access these new features under the “Experimental AI” section of the Chrome Settings, though I haven’t seen that option available on my machine just yet. Google does note that it’ll take a few days for feature rollout, starting from US regions. However, these features are disabled for enterprise and educational accounts for now, due to their experimental nature.

The first feature is the Tab Organizer, which builds on top of the Tab Groups feature. Arranging these tabs is a manual process, which wouldn’t be convenient if one has more than 50 tabs open (PSA: please clean up your tabs), so this is where AI steps in and does the sorting work for you. Just right-click on a tab (or click the dropdown arrow) and select “Organize Similar Tabs”, and it’ll group tabs based on topics.
