With Gemini, Google gives Chromebooks an AI makeover

Google is bringing Gemini, its artificial intelligence chatbot, to Chromebook Plus laptops as it tries to increase the adoption of its AI tools among a diverse user base. On Wednesday, the company added a slew of AI-powered features to ChromeOS and unveiled new Chromebooks that are hitting the market.

The search engine giant said its Gemini-powered AI features will make it easier to get things done. For example, Google’s “Help Me Write” works in any text box. Users can ask Google’s AI to rewrite the selected text, rephrase it in a specific way, or change the tone. Google is also adding the ability to create custom wallpapers with generative AI.
