Gemini in Chrome is rolling out a new feature called Skills to save and reuse your favorite prompts. Skills save you the time and effort of entering the same instructions into the AI chatbot on different pages.
With this update, when Gemini If an answer for your query appears in the side panel, you’ll see an option to “Save this message as a skill” at the bottom. Clicking the Save Here button opens a new window where you can review the improvement message and give it a title to make it easier to understand.

You can then reuse the message later by entering a forward slash (/) or selecting the plus (+) button below the message box. You can add Skills from your chat history or modify them at any time, Google says. The company is also launching a pre-built skillset.
Some early testers have used Skills to quickly enter prompts to calculate protein macros in a recipe, generate side-by-side comparisons across multiple tabs while shopping, and summarize long documents, Google adds.
When using Skills on pages with sensitive information, such as calendar or email, the feature will ask your permission before continuing. For now, the feature appears limited to Chrome’s Gemini side panel.

Gemini in Chrome debuted in the United States last year. It is intended to be an artificial intelligence assistant for your browsing needs. Once you access it from Gemini Spark in the toolbar or the three-dot menu in the address bar, you can ask it questions about the page you’re currently on. Skills simply speeds up the process with one-click access to your preferred prompts.
For now, Skills is rolling out to Gemini in Chrome on Mac, Windows, and ChromeOS PCs that have set English (US) as the default Chrome language. The feature may be rolling out gradually, as I wasn’t able to test it right away or access the pre-built skills.
