Google is working on Project Jarvis, which will create an artificial intelligence-based virtual assistant for the Chrome web browser. This algorithm will help optimize the performance of various tasks, including searching for information on the Internet, online shopping, booking airline tickets, etc.

According to the source, Jarvis will be based on a future version of the Gemini neural network, and the AI assistant itself will be available only in the browser. The new tool aims to help people “automate everyday tasks on the web” by taking and interpreting screenshots or through text commands. In its current state, the algorithm takes several seconds to process requests.
The largest companies in the field of artificial intelligence are working on creating similar AI assistants. For example, Microsoft’s Copilot Vision will be able to chat with the user about the web pages they are viewing. It is also expected that next year Apple Intelligence algorithms will learn to understand what is happening on the screen of the user’s device and will be able to perform some actions in applications for a person. Anthropic recently presented an updated version of the Claude neural network, after which the algorithm learned to use the user’s computer. OpenAI is also expected to release something similar.
As for Google, the public demonstration of the Jarvis algorithm may take place in December this year, but it is possible that it will be postponed. According to the source, Google intends to open access to the algorithm to a limited number of testers, who should help in finding and eliminating errors, after which a larger scale implementation of the mentioned innovation may begin.
