Quick answers from Gemini on any website in Chrome

Chrome now lets you open Gemini in a side panel to quickly summarize text, compare products, or explain a complex topic without opening a new tab.

✨ How it works

To open Gemini, click the Gemini icon on the Chrome toolbar. A side panel opens, and the page you are on stays open.

Then type your request in that panel. You do not need to look for another site or copy text into other windows.

📌 What you can ask

Gemini can briefly retell a large report or a long article. This is handy when time is short and the text is long.

You can compare product details, for example two phones or two washing machines open on the page. Gemini can also explain complicated topics in plain language, so you understand an unfamiliar term without searching other sources.
