Google has started rolling out a Chrome feature that can look through a user’s Gmail to find certain personal details and use them to complete online forms, bringing the company’s Gemini artificial-intelligence assistant further into everyday browsing.
The feature, called enhanced autofill, became available from Oct. 28 to users in the United States who use Gemini in Chrome and have Personal Intelligence enabled. The rollout covers desktop computers as well as Android and iOS devices. Google has not provided a date for availability in other countries.
According to Decrypt, the tool can suggest information from Gmail when a website form requests an order number, package tracking information or flight-booking details. Chrome’s regular autofill already enters information such as a user’s name and address when those details have been saved in the browser. Google’s announcement did not say that the new Gmail-based function searches for credit-card numbers or addresses.
How enhanced autofill works
Enhanced autofill operates through Gemini, Google’s AI assistant, and the Personal Intelligence feature. Personal Intelligence allows Gemini to use information from connected Google applications, including Gmail and Google Photos, to tailor responses and actions to an individual user.
When a form asks for information covered by the new function, Chrome can search the relevant Gmail content and offer a matching detail. For example, an online retailer’s delivery form may request an order or tracking number, while an airline-related form may ask for information connected to a flight booking.
The feature is intended to reduce the need for users to search through their inbox and copy details manually. It also extends Chrome’s existing autofill system beyond information that people have directly stored in their browser.
Users must choose to connect their applications, and Google says those connections can be turned off at any time. Chrome’s settings also allow users to control whether enhanced autofill is enabled and what it can access.
Google’s privacy assurances and open questions
Google says sensitive information is encrypted and that users remain in control of the feature. Encryption generally protects information by converting it into a form that unauthorized parties cannot read. However, the company’s announcement did not explain in detail how that protection applies to Gmail content that Chrome scans for autofill suggestions.
Google also said that Gemini and AI Mode do not train directly on a user’s Gmail inbox or Google Photos library. The company made that statement in March as it expanded Personal Intelligence to free users in the United States. Google nevertheless said it trains on limited information, including particular prompts and the model’s responses.
The rollout comes amid continuing attention to Google’s handling of personal data. In November, users objected to a Smart Features setting that allowed Gemini to analyze emails and calendars unless users opted out. Google said at the time that it had not changed its underlying approach to data handling.
Google also revised its privacy policy, effective Oct. 16. The revision added an exception to the company’s pledge not to use content from Gmail, Drive and Photos for advertising. Personalized advertising can use that information if users choose to make it available to other Google services that support personalized ads. Google says such content is not used for ad targeting by default and that advertisers cannot access the contents of those services.
Wider push to make Chrome an AI browser
The Gmail-linked autofill function is part of Google’s broader effort to make Chrome capable of taking actions, rather than simply displaying websites. Chrome has about 65% of the browser market, according to the source material, giving the company’s changes a potentially wide reach among internet users.
In January, Google gave paying subscribers in the United States access to an AI browsing agent called auto browse. That tool clicks through websites and completes forms on a user’s behalf. Enhanced autofill is narrower: its announced Gmail use is limited to order numbers, tracking information and flight bookings, while the standard browser feature continues to handle saved details such as addresses and payment cards.
Google has also removed wording from Chrome settings that said on-device AI could work without sending data to Google’s servers. On-device AI refers to models that run on a user’s own computer rather than remotely. Google said the wording change did not represent a change in how it handles on-device AI.
