Like most other tech companies, Google is investing heavily in the development of AI models and trying to incorporate AI into anything and everything in their portfolio. The latest endeavor apparently involves Google integrating its Gemini AI assistant into its world-popular Chrome browser—at least, that’s the rumor going around.
And that rumor is backed up by some newly discovered code in the latest version of Chrome Canary, reports Windows Latest. Canary is a special version of the browser for testing out experimental features, and it appears that Gemini is being integrated with it. However, it doesn’t seem to be fully operational yet. (Not a surprise with Canary.)
The new feature is called GLIC, which stands for “Gemini Live in Chrome,” and it comes with a new “Glic” section in Chrome’s settings page. Toggling Glic causes a Gemini icon to appear next to the minimize-maximize-close window buttons, and clicking the icon launches Gemini in a floating modal. You’ll also be able to configure Gemini to appear in the system tray as a convenient way to launch the AI assistant.
It seems the overall idea is to bring Gemini front and center while using Chrome, and that could be useful if you need answers to questions or want to run some AI prompts without leaving your browser.
