Ammon News - Google announced Wednesday that it is bringing Gemini integration for Chrome to new regions, including India, Canada, and New Zealand. The rollout will let users use Gemini in Chrome through a sidebar on desktop, enabling them to ask Google’s AI chatbot questions about the content on the screen, get information from their Gmail, Keep, Drive, and YouTube, and compare tab contents.

As part of the new rollout, Gemini will also support languages including Hindi, Bengali, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Telugu, and Tamil, in addition to English and Chrome’s other newly supported languages.

Google first introduced Gemini in Chrome in the U.S. through a floating window last September. The company introduced sidebar-based Gemini tools earlier this year.

Users who get access to this feature will see an “Ask Gemini” icon on the tab bar, which they can activate for any tab and ask questions, summarize content, or create a quiz to understand a topic. Google said that Gemini can also work across tabs. This means you can mention multiple tabs to get an answer, which is helpful when you are comparing items to shop for or tickets to buy for a trip.

Gemini can also connect with different tools, get your information, and give more personalized answers. It can connect to Gmail, Maps, Calendar, YouTube, and other Google apps for contextual answers, too. For instance, you can directly compose an email using Gemini in the sidebar on Chrome and send it to someone without leaving the window. You can also ask Gemini to summarize a YouTube video and list the main points alongside timestamp markers. The assistant can also schedule meetings or brief you about your day.

Users can also use Google’s Nano Banana 2 generative AI tool directly in Gemini for Chrome to transform images. For instance, you can upload a photo of your room while buying furniture and ask the assistant to transform the image to see how an item would look in the room.
