Google has unveiled a new artificial intelligence feature aimed at making everyday online tasks faster and more efficient, as it continues to expand the capabilities of its browser ecosystem.
The feature, called “Skills”, is being introduced within Google Chrome through its AI assistant Gemini. It allows users to save and reuse frequently used prompts, turning repetitive actions into simple one-click workflows.
With Skills, users can activate saved prompts by typing a forward slash or using a plus button, effectively creating shortcuts for tasks they perform regularly. The feature is designed to reduce the need to repeatedly enter the same instructions when interacting with AI tools.
According to Google, early users have already begun applying Skills across a range of activities, including productivity tasks, shopping, and personal organisation. The company said the tool is particularly useful for building personalised workflows that can streamline routine digital interactions.
A built-in library of pre-designed Skills is also included, giving users the option to customise templates to suit their individual needs. This approach allows both beginners and experienced users to benefit from the feature without needing advanced technical knowledge.
Google said Skills operates under the same privacy and security framework as Gemini within Chrome. Users are required to confirm actions before any sensitive operations are carried out, and the system includes safeguards such as automated testing to identify potential vulnerabilities. The company added that regular updates will be issued to maintain security standards.
The rollout of Skills is taking place gradually, with availability expanding in phases across different regions. While the feature is already accessible to some users globally, there is no confirmed release date for markets in the Arab region.
A Google spokesperson said the company hopes to introduce the feature to users in the region in the future. Previous rollouts suggest that such tools may take several months to reach wider international audiences. For example, Gemini’s Personal Intelligence feature became available in parts of the Arab world earlier this month, after initially launching in the United States.
The introduction of Skills reflects a broader push by Google to integrate AI more deeply into everyday browsing, aiming to make digital tools more responsive to individual habits while reducing the time spent on repetitive tasks.
