Over the last few years, we’ve been using AI to create a browsing experience in Chrome that’s faster, safer and more helpful, such as helping you avoid malicious sites, generate real-time captions for media with audio, better organize your tabs and write with more confidence.

Now, three new AI features — using the latest Google AI and Gemini models — are coming to Chrome. We’re making it even easier to search what you see with the power of Google Lens, compare products across multiple tabs and rediscover sites from your browser history, whether you’re at home or at work.



Google Lens has already made it simpler to search what you see on your phone. With the latest Chrome update rolling out over the next few days, we’re bringing the same capabilities from Google Lens directly to your desktop browser. This means you’ll be able to easily select, search and ask questions about anything you see on the web, all without leaving your current tab.

To do this, you’ll select the Google Lens icon in the address bar, then click or drag over anything that you want to search; you can also invoke Google Lens from the right-click or three dot menu. After you make a selection, you’ll see visual matches and results in the side panel. You can then use multisearch to refine your search by color, brand or another detail, or you can ask follow up questions to dive deeper into a topic. Depending on your question, you might get an AI Overview response that brings together the most relevant information from across the web.
