Google Introduces Gemini-Powered Lens in Chrome Desktop

IBL News | New York

Google is rolling out new Gemini-powered features for Chrome, such as Lens for desktop, tab compare for shopping, and AI-powered history search, as an opt-in feature for U.S. users this month.

Lens allows the user to ask questions about what is seen —a video, item, or image—while browsing. It will live in the address bar and the three-dot menu. After clicking, the user selects a part of a page and asks more questions to get search results.

With Lens—which is located in the address bar and the three-dot menu—users can tap on objects and ask questions through multi-search to find a similar item in different colors or brands. Depending on the question, users  might also get AI Overviews in answers.
