Gemini in Chrome Gets One-Click Reusable AI Prompts

Google is rolling out Skills for Gemini in Chrome on desktop (Mac, Windows, ChromeOS). Think of them as saved prompt macros — you trigger them by typing / in the Gemini sidebar, and they run against whatever page or tabs you have open.

You can save any prompt you've already typed directly from your chat history, or browse Google's pre-built Skills Library at chrome://skills/browse, which covers categories like Research, Writing, Shopping, and Learning. Saved Skills sync across all your signed-in Chrome devices.

The rollout is currently limited to English-US users on Chrome desktop.

Why it matters: Skills quietly turns Gemini from a chatbot into a browser automation layer — and the / trigger pattern is a clear signal Google wants it to feel like a power-user tool, not just a search replacement.
