Chrome adds 'Skills' feature to save and reuse Gemini AI prompts across tabs
Google Chrome is launching Skills, a feature that allows users to save and reuse Gemini AI prompts across multiple webpages with a single click. The feature rolls out today for Chrome desktop users with their language set to US English.
How Skills works
Users can save any AI prompt as a Skill directly from their Gemini chat history on desktop. Saved Skills sync across all desktop devices signed into the same Google account on Chrome. To access the feature, users type a forward slash (/) in Gemini and click the compass icon.
"Until now, repeating an AI task — like asking for ingredient substitutions to make a recipe vegan — meant re-entering the same prompt as you visited different pages," said Chrome product manager Hafsah Ismail.
Example use cases
According to Google, early testers created Skills for:
- Calculating nutritional information from online recipes
- Creating side-by-side comparisons of product specifications across multiple shopping tabs
- Converting recipes to vegan alternatives
The feature eliminates the need to manually retype frequently used prompts or copy-paste them from saved lists.
Preset library available
Google is launching a library of preset Skills alongside the feature. Users can save these ready-to-use Skills or customize them rather than creating prompts from scratch.
Availability
Skills is available now for Chrome desktop users with US English language settings. No pricing information applies as this is a browser feature for existing Gemini users.
What this means
This represents Google's push to integrate AI more deeply into browser workflows rather than keeping it as a separate chat interface. By reducing friction for repetitive AI tasks, Chrome is positioning Gemini as a productivity tool rather than just a conversational assistant. The feature directly competes with browser automation tools and suggests Google sees value in making AI interactions more programmable and reusable by everyday users.
