Google announced Skills in Chrome, a new Gemini in Chrome feature that lets you save prompts and rerun them as one-click tools across selected pages and tabs.<\/p>
Skills turn a prompt you\u2019ve already written into a saved tool you can trigger again later. After running a prompt in Gemini\u2019s Chrome side panel, you can save it as a Skill from your chat history. The next time you need it, type a forward slash or click the plus sign in Gemini in Chrome, select the Skill, and it runs on whatever page you\u2019re viewing.<\/p>
The feature also works across tabs. You can select additional open tabs when running a Skill, which means a single saved prompt can pull information from multiple pages at once.<\/p>
Google is launching a library of prebuilt Skills that includes workflows for breaking down product ingredients, comparing specs across tabs, and cross-referencing a gift budget with a recipient\u2019s interests. You can add any library Skill to your saved collection and edit the underlying prompt to customize it.<\/p>
This update changes how Chrome\u2019s AI features work together. Over the past year, Google has added page-aware prompts and multi-tab context, connected apps like Gmail and Calendar, and auto-browse for multi-step tasks. Skills add reusability to those capabilities.<\/p>
A saved prompt that reads a page, compares it against two other open tabs, and drafts a summary email through a connected app is closer to a lightweight automated workflow than a chatbot conversation.<\/p>
For SEO and marketing work, the multi-tab capability creates several possibilities. You could save a Skill that compares competitor pages against yours, or one that extracts structured data from product pages you\u2019re auditing. A repeatable prompt that checks title tags, meta descriptions, and heading structure across client sites would save time during routine audits.<\/p>
The launch categories focus on shopping, productivity, and wellness rather than developer or enterprise tools. That suggests Skills are intended more as a consumer productivity feature rather than a power-user API.<\/p>
Skills is the latest in a series of Chrome updates that have upgraded the browser\u2019s AI capabilities.<\/p>
Taken together, they point to Chrome becoming a more persistent AI assistant rather than a one-off side panel.<\/p>
