Google has introduced the Help Me Write feature, an AI-powered tool supported by Gemini for the Chrome browser, aimed at helping users in writing or enhancing content based on the web page’s content.
Following the stable release of Chrome version 122, which introduced a new feature, it can now be tested on Windows and Mac computers for Chrome users in the United States who speak English.
The Help Me Write feature focuses on providing textual suggestions for short content, such as filling out surveys, writing digital reviews, requesting information about products, or crafting descriptions for items displayed online.
Google explains that the feature can understand the context of the web page being browsed to extract relevant information for its suggestions, such as highlighting key features presented in a product page for items being reviewed.
The Help Me Write feature has undergone some visual modifications since it was first announced in a Gmail email during the Google I/O event last May.
The feature now appears as a floating app window next to text fields on the web page, and contains separate options for adjusting the length and type of writing.
A Google Chrome browser version offers similar features to those introduced by Microsoft for Edge browsing and Bing search last year.
Google Chrome users in the United States need to enable the experimental AI feature in the browser to use this feature. This feature can be found by clicking on the settings in the dropdown menu with three dots, then navigating to the experimental AI page.
Once the feature is enabled, users can navigate to a web page through Chrome and right-click on an open text field to use the “Help Me Write” feature.
Google’s support page includes a disclaimer warning users not to provide any personal information to the feature like name, phone number, address, social security number, credit card data, and prohibits using the tool on any websites containing personal or confidential materials.
Google assures that Chrome browser will not use such information if collected for model training purposes.
