Google's Project Jarvis Could Bring AI to Your Browser by December

It seems Google's building its very own "Jarvis" — but unlike Tony Stark's trusty AI from Marvel, this one won't be powering a high-tech suit of armor anytime soon. Code-named "Project Jarvis," this upcoming AI system could change the way we use computers — and it's aiming to hit our screens as soon as December, according to recent reports. Jarvis, which could be Google's answer to the current boom in action-oriented AI models, is designed to perform tasks for users directly in their web browser, specifically Chrome.


Imagine having an AI assistant that doesn't just answer your questions but actually does things for you, like a personal digital butler. Project Jarvis, backed by an advanced version of Google's Gemini AI, is built to streamline your day-to-day tasks online. Want to research a topic? Jarvis can gather information. Need to buy something? Jarvis can handle it. It can even book your flights. All you do is give the command, and Jarvis takes it from there, using screenshots and interpreting what's on your screen to decide where to click or what to type.

Currently, it's not lightning-fast, taking a few seconds to execute each action, but this kind of efficiency in a browser-based system is a big leap in itself. Google appears to be positioning Jarvis as an "everyday task" assistant, specifically tailored to handle web-based activities. This approach is a direct response to competitors, like Microsoft's Copilot Vision, Apple's anticipated "Intelligence" feature, and Claude from Anthropic, which has a similar but reportedly glitchy beta.

What makes Jarvis different is its exclusive integration with Chrome, which could allow it to work seamlessly with Google's ecosystem and Chrome's extensive functionality. It's also a smart move by Google to make this tool browser-based — it could run on almost any computer without the need for extra software.

As with any ambitious project, there's still a bit of a waiting game. Google hasn't fully committed to a December debut and may opt for a limited launch, allowing only a select group of testers to give Jarvis a go. This cautious rollout would help Google iron out any last-minute bugs before it's widely released.
