Google's New AI, Jarvis, to Help with Chrome Tasks

Google is working on an AI agent called Jarvis, named after Tony Stark's AI in Iron Man. This AI will operate within Google Chrome to assist users with web-based tasks like research, shopping, and booking trips. Sundar Pichai, Google's CEO, describes AI agents as intelligent systems that can plan, reason, and remember. Jarvis will work under a user's supervision and is expected to be unveiled this December.

The AI won't work on devices yet, relying on the cloud to interpret screenshots and take actions like clicking buttons or typing text. This means it operates a bit slower as it processes each command. Powered by Gemini 2. 0, Jarvis is set to become one of the first consumer-facing products showcasing this new technology. While Jarvis might not launch immediately, it could be available for early testers. Google often introduces flagship examples with new models, and Jarvis seems like a practical use case. The AI was first hinted at during Google's I/O event in May, where Gemini and Chrome were shown working together to organize and reason for users.
