According to 1M AI News, Google has introduced the Skills feature to its Chrome browser's built-in AI assistant Gemini. Users can save commonly used AI prompts as "skills" and then trigger them with a single click on any webpage.
Usage: After typing a useful prompt in a Gemini chat, users can directly save it as a Skill from the chat history. The next time they need it, they can simply type "/" in the input box or click the "+" button to invoke it. The Skill will automatically apply to the current page and any other selected tabs, and can be edited or created anew at any time.
Google has also launched a Skills preset library, offering ready-made templates for scenarios such as food ingredient analysis, multi-tab product spec comparison, and key information extraction from long documents. Users can directly add or modify prompts to suit their needs.
This feature is currently rolling out on the desktop version of Chrome for Mac, Windows, and ChromeOS, and only supports English (United States). Saved Skills are synced across accounts and available on all logged-in desktop devices.
