If you’ve ever entered the same AI prompt multiple times across different tabs in Gemini, you know how tedious it can be. Google has now solved this problem by introducing a new feature called Skills in Chrome. It lets you save your most useful Gemini prompts and instantly re-run them with a single click.
So what can I do with Skills in Chrome?
With Skills you can turn your Gemini prompts into reusable one-click tools. Once saved, a skill remains available on all your desktop devices signed in to the same Google Account.
Early testers have used them to calculate protein macros from recipe pages, create side-by-side product specification comparisons across multiple tabs, and scan long documents to summarize information.
Google is also introducing a pre-built skills library with ready-to-use prompts for common tasks. You can use them as is or adapt them to your needs. Skills also include privacy devices. Before you perform sensitive actions such as sending an email or adding a calendar event, you will first be asked for your confirmation.
How to use skills in Google Chrome
The skills are provided for desktop Chrome users with the language set to English-US. To save a skill, open Gemini in Chrome and enter a command prompt that you want to reuse. Once the conversation is in your chat history, you’ll see the option to save it as a skill directly from there.
To run it, type a slash (/) in the Gemini chat box and select your saved skill. You can also use the plus sign button ( + ) to access skills. To manage or edit them, type a slash (/) and click the compass icon. To browse the prebuilt library, search for it in the same menu.
It’s worth noting that Google is also testing a Projects feature for Gemini that lets you organize AI chats into folders, similar to ChatGPT. However, the function is currently only available to a small group of users and is not yet fully functional.
