Google Chrome is getting a new AI writing generator today.
At its core, this Gemin-powered tool is essentially the existing “Help me write” feature from Gmail, but extended to the entire web and powered by one of Google’s latest Gemini AI models.
To get started, head to the Chrome settings menu and look for the ‘Experimental AI’ page.
From there, you can easily enable the new writing feature, as well as Google’s new automatic tab organizer (which I haven’t found particularly useful or smart so far) and the new Chrome theme manager).
If you’re subscribed to Gemini Advanced, this new tool will not give you access to an enhanced writing model, a Google spokesperson told us.
But don’t expect the EV maker to drop Android Auto or Apple CarPlay as a result.
GM, for instance, decided not to make the new 2024 Chevy Blazer EV compatible with Android Auto or Apple CarPlay.
Meanwhile, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay is a secondary interface that lies on top of an operating system.
Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are apps that runs on the user’s phone and wirelessly communicates with the vehicle’s infotainment system.
Automakers have been scrambling to achieve the so-called “software-defined vehicle” and have largely used Android Auto and Apple CarPlay as a stop gap.
Google announced Tuesday at CES 2024 a new feature for EV drivers that will track and display real-time battery information in Google Maps.
The new Android Auto feature will rollout today on Ford Mustang Mach-E and F-150 Lightning.

Cars with Google built-in will also get, starting today, PBS KIDS and Crunchyroll and the Weather Channel app.
