Add to Chrome – it's freeWhat Google offers where, as of October 2026
Gemini in Chrome is three things: an assistant that answers about your open tabs, auto browse, which clicks and types through multi-step tasks in Chrome, and tasks in Gemini, which run on a schedule or after an event. Each has its own list of places where Google offers it.
- EEA and Switzerland: as of October 2026, Google's list of regions for Gemini in Chrome names no EEA country and not Switzerland Source 3. Auto browse needs the US Source 1, and tasks in Gemini exclude the EEA and Switzerland Source 2.
- UK: as of October 2026, the assistant is offered to users 18 or older Source 3. Auto browse isn't, because it needs the US Source 1, and tasks in Gemini exclude the UK Source 2.
- US: auto browse needs you to be 18 or older, an English device language, and Google AI Pro or Ultra on a personal account Source 1. Tasks need AI Pro or Ultra too Source 2.
- BrowseWiz: a Chrome extension from a team in Warsaw, Poland. Its browser agent, scheduled tasks and page monitors work the same in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland, with no Google AI plan.
BrowseWiz vs Gemini in Chrome
The Gemini in Chrome facts come from Google's help pages, read on October 26, 2026. Google rolls these features out gradually, so check them again before you decide.
| Feature | BrowseWiz | Gemini in Chrome |
|---|---|---|
| Where it's offered | Desktop Chrome, as an extension, in the EEA, the UK, Switzerland and elsewhere | The assistant: in the UK, the US and many other regions, but in no EEA country and not in Switzerland Source 3 |

They aren't offered in the EEA, Nigeria, Switzerland or the UK, and start from the Gemini app or gemini.google.com Source 2 |
| Page change alerts | A monitor checks a page about every 5 minutes while Chrome is open and alerts you when a change matches your sentence. Free: 1. Pro and Max: 30 | A task can watch flight and hotel prices and alert you when they drop within your budget, where tasks are offered Source 2 |

| Language | The extension comes in 10 languages, including German, French, Spanish and Polish | Auto browse needs an English device language Source 1. The assistant supports many languages Source 3 |
Watch hotel prices for a trip
Google's help page pitches tasks in Gemini for this job: watching flight and hotel prices and alerting you when they drop within your budget Source 2. Where tasks aren't offered, BrowseWiz runs it in your Chrome. Ask once in chat:
Open the booking pages of Casa Alfama, Hotel Ribeira and Miradouro Suites in Lisbon for 12–14 March. Put each hotel's nightly price for a double room, whether it has free cancellation, when you checked and a link to the page in a new Google Sheet.
BrowseWiz reads each page as your Chrome shows it, so prices come in the currency the site shows you.
What lands in your sheet
| Hotel | Nightly price | Free cancellation | Last checked | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Casa Alfama | €142 | Yes | Mar 2, 8:01 AM | casa-alfama.example/rooms |
| Hotel Ribeira | €168 | No | Mar 2, 8:03 AM | hotel-ribeira.example/book |
| Miradouro Suites | €131 | Yes | Mar 2, 8:04 AM | miradouro.example/stay |
How BrowseWiz keeps the prices current
Ask once in chat
Paste the request and approve the plan. BrowseWiz opens the hotel pages in your Chrome. The first time, grant tab access and sign in to Google when it asks, and it creates the sheet in your Drive.
Check every morning
After that first run, click Update this sheet daily above the chat box, give it a time such as 8:00 and say to update the same rows. Approving the new plan saves it as a scheduled task.
Get told when a price drops
Give a page monitor one hotel's booking page and a sentence, such as "the double room drops below €130". It checks about every 5 minutes while Chrome is open and alerts you only when that happens.
Which one to choose
Choose Gemini in Chrome if…
- You're in the US and already pay for Google AI Pro or Ultra: auto browse is included, up to 20 or 200 requests a day Source 1.
- You live where tasks in Gemini are offered and want them to start after an event, not only at a set time Source 2.
- Your work is in Gmail, Calendar, Docs and Drive, which tasks can use as Connected Apps Source 2.
- You're in the UK, where the assistant is offered as of October 2026 Source 3, and want it to answer about up to 10 of your open tabs Source 5.
Choose BrowseWiz if…
- You're in the EEA, the UK or Switzerland and want a browser agent that runs on a schedule.
- You don't want a Google AI plan to automate your browser.
- You want a daily scheduled task and a page monitor on a free plan.
- You want a Google Sheet kept current from sites you sign into, with a source link on each row.
Where BrowseWiz falls short
- Chrome has to stay open for schedules and monitors. Nothing runs with your laptop closed.
- A scheduled task runs at a set time, up to once a day. Tasks in Gemini can also start after an event Source 2.
- It doesn't read your Gmail, Docs or Drive files. It writes to a sheet and a calendar it creates, not to ones you already have.
- Monitors check about every 5 minutes, not faster, and only while Chrome is open.
- The browser agent, schedules and monitors use BrowseWiz Chat, the built-in model, not Gemini.
- An AI agent reads each page fresh, so two runs can differ. Spot-check the rows that matter.
What BrowseWiz costs
Start on Free: it includes 10M credits a month, 1 daily scheduled task and 1 page monitor, with no Google AI plan. Credit use depends on how much page text a run reads. One BrowseWiz Chat call that reads a 30,000-character page (about 7,500 input tokens) and writes 500 tokens costs 7,500 × 5 + 500 × 30 ≈ 52,500 credits.

Questions
Google releases Gemini in Chrome gradually and lists the regions where it's offered. As of October 2026, that list includes the UK but no EEA country and not Switzerland Source 3.
