Google is enhancing its Chrome browser's autofill capabilities by integrating AI that can access user Gmail accounts. Announced on Wednesday, the feature will allow Chrome to suggest information such as flight confirmation numbers, membership IDs, tracking details, order numbers, addresses, and phone numbers directly from emails to populate online forms. This expansion of Google's Personal Intelligence aims to make form-filling more convenient and further integrate users into Google's AI ecosystem. Users will have the option to enable or disable this enhanced autofill through their Chrome settings, with Google assuring that sensitive data will be encrypted. The update is currently rolling out to U.S. users on desktop and within the Gemini app for iOS and Android.
