Chrome canary already had Gemini Nano built in into the browser for local LLM. For the use cases you mentioned there is no need to call a 3rd party.

In a way this should be a core feature of any browser and if this project accelerates/improves that by 5% I will be very happy!

The fact that Chrome and Gemini are, at least for now, owned by the same company raises huge privacy and consumer choice concerns for me though, and I see benefit in letting the user choose their model, where/how to store their data, etc.

I would really appreciate if browsers will not make this ai slop their core functionality, and keep on having web browser as their core functionality.

Gemini Nano sounds like a model that only does basic autocomplete or semantic inference, no tool calling for sure. What this kind of product seems to be headed to is something like Manus, which needs agentic (thinking, planing, tool calling) capabilities.

Can't possibly do tool calling well enough to handle browser automation.
