Ever repeat the same AI prompts over and over? Maybe you frequently ask a chatbot to organize your school notes or summarize meeting notes into actionable bullet points. If you find repeating your AI tasks inefficient, Google Chrome has a new feature to make your workflow more frictionless.
Starting Tuesday, Google is rolling out Skills in Chrome, a new feature that allows you to save and reuse your most useful, customized prompts with just one click. Additionally, the company is launching a ready-to-use library of the most common Skills, if you don't want to customize your own prompts.
Skills in Chrome is available now to anyone with their Chrome language set to English-US.

How to get started with workflows with Skills in Chrome
You can save your most-used prompts as a Skill right in your Gemini chat history. To re-access that prompt, you will just need to type forward slash (/) or click the plus sign (+) button, and from there, the saved Skill will run.
In the Gemini interface, you can edit any of your saved Skills or create new ones.

Access the Skills library
If you're not a savant at creating your own prompts, Chrome has a ready-made library of the most common AI tasks for you to access anytime. Some of these tasks include listing the ingredients of a product, generating side-by-side price comparisons for a gift or scanning long documents.
If one of these pre-made Skills suits your workflow needs, you can either save it as is or you can customize it to better fit your specific tasks.
Skills in Chrome will have the same safety and privacy safeguards as your other Gemini prompts. The interface will ask for confirmation before executing certain sensitive Skills tasks, like sending an email, to give you the final say in any task run on your device.
Google is just the latest company to add this kind of functionality. Other companies have similar AI products, including Claude's own Skills features, and Perplexity and OpenAI have their own browsers to execute tasks.
