Google has inadvertently leaked details about its upcoming AI agent, Jarvis AI, which is designed to browse the web within Chrome on behalf of users. According to The Information, an internal preview of Jarvis appeared briefly on the Chrome extension store but was quickly removed. The description labeled it as "a helpful companion that surfs the web with you, ” aligning with earlier reports about its capabilities, such as online shopping and booking vacations. Those who swiftly downloaded the prototype found it unusable due to specific required access permissions. However, reports suggest Google intends to officially launch Jarvis in December, meaning the wait for its debut is short. Jarvis AI promises to automate web browsing tasks in Google Chrome, potentially handling chores like shopping or booking flights so users can focus on other matters.

This could be particularly handy for routine tasks like holiday shopping—because nothing says 'I love you' quite like an AI-chosen gift. Such AI agents, designed to complete tasks independently, are becoming more common. Last month, Anthropic introduced a similar product, and there are rumors that OpenAI might also be developing one, although details on how it might differ from Google's offering are scarce. The AI field is currently thriving, with new tools emerging daily. Recently, ChatGPT Search became available to Plus subscribers, enhancing AI search capabilities. With the introduction of Jarvis AI, we may soon find ourselves doing even less manual searching online.
