Google launched Skills, a new Chrome feature that transforms frequently used AI prompts into one-click tools. Users can now save Gemini prompts directly in the browser and reuse them across multiple tabs without retyping commands.
The feature addresses a common friction point in AI-powered browsing. Previously, users had to manually copy and paste the same prompt across different tabs when performing similar tasks — comparing product specifications, analyzing documents, or processing recipe data.
Skills integrates with Chrome's existing Gemini sidebar, which Google introduced last fall. Users access saved prompts by typing a forward slash (/) or plus symbol (+) in the assistant, then selecting from their stored commands. The system can process information from multiple open tabs simultaneously.
Bisher bedeutete das Wiederholen einer KI-Aufgabe, etwa die Abfrage von Zutatenaustausch für ein veganes Rezept, dass man dieselbe Eingabeaufforderung auf jeder neuen Seite erneut eingeben musste

Google provides a starter library of pre-built Skills covering common use cases: calculating protein content in recipes, comparing product specifications, finding key information in lengthy documents, and meal planning assistance. Users can customize these templates or create entirely new prompts from their Gemini chat history.
Tecnoblog frames Skills as part of broader AI browser competition, emphasizing practical functionality while noting geographic limitations. They highlight the competitive landscape with examples like OpenAI's Atlas and other AI-native browsers, positioning this as an industry-wide shift rather than Google-specific innovation.
