Google Rolls Out Gemini AI in Chrome to India, Canada, and New Zealand

Built on Gemini 3.1, Chrome’s AI features, including a browsing assistant, cross-tab research, Google app integrations, and Nano Banana 2 image editing, are now rolling out across three new regions, with support for over 50 additional languages including Hindi, French, and Spanish.

Google has announced the expansion of Gemini in Chrome to India, New Zealand, and Canada. This brings a suite of AI features built on Gemini 3.1 to users in these regions for the first time. The rollout covers desktop and iOS initially; on Android, Gemini can be activated while using Chrome and other apps by holding the power button. Additionally, there is support for over 50 additional languages, including Hindi, French, and Spanish.

Gemini in Chrome will let users get help without switching tabs. The feature will be accessible via an icon in the top right corner of the current tab. It can summarize web content, answer questions, create study aids like quizzes, and retrieve pages the user has previously visited. The feature is rolling out to all Mac, Windows, and Chromebook Plus users in the three new regions.

Google has also built integrations with its own apps directly into the Chrome side panel. Users can schedule Calendar events, view Maps location details, ask questions about YouTube videos, and compose and send Gmail messages without leaving their current page. The email workflow is designed to require a single click to send after Gemini drafts the message.

Besides, Gemini in Chrome can also work across multiple open tabs simultaneously, pulling together information from several sources into a consolidated view. Google’s examples include planning a team offsite by combining research across tabs, or comparing vegan protein powders by building a table from product pages across different sites.

Also, Nano Banana 2, Google’s image generation and transformation model, has also been built directly into Chrome. Users type a prompt in the side panel and Nano Banana 2 transforms the image in the current browser window without requiring any file uploads or tab switching.

On security, Google says Gemini in Chrome was built with safeguards from the ground up. The models are trained to recognisz prompt injection attacks. The system asks for explicit user confirmation before taking sensitive actions such as sending an email or adding a calendar event. Google uses automated red-teaming to continuously test the browser’s defences and deploys fixes through Chrome’s auto-update mechanism.

The announcement was made by Charmaine D’Silva, Director of Product Management at Chrome. Google says further capabilities and regional expansions are planned throughout the year.
