1. This is actually a feature on Pixel through the assistant [0], surprised it's not on Chrome itself

2. That doesn't really seem like a Chrome feature? Belongs more on Bard.

3. That seems like a Google Assistant feature too, some of that actually may work on a pixel phone, though might be nice to have on desktop too.

4. Will never happen. Google themselves have a captcha product so defeats the point.

I was excited to test it on my pixel 7 just to find out it's only available on Pixel 8. Why?....
...and only in the US.

It is only on the Pixel 8, not the previous models and their mid-range $ variants so they aren't giving it away for free just yet

I wonder if it's done locally or through the cloud. Some of the language around the release of Gemini Nano implies that it may be done locally?

I think for #2, they meant like AI-powered control-F / find in page.

Which is actually the first non-novelty AI tool I've heard someone pitch that actually sounded like a good idea. Way more visible failure mode than summarizing.
