My prompt collection lives in three different places right now — Raycast snippets, Apple Notes, and a Notion page that keeps growing. I know I wrote a good one for my git commit/push flow somewhere, but finding it when I need it usually takes longer than just rewriting it.
The browser approach makes sense for Claude code and ChatGPT. I wonder how well it holds up once you have 50+ prompts though — finding the right one fast is the real problem for me.
my most commonly repeated prompt; would be nice if the baked it into the tool itself:
"No emojis. be concise. no suggestions unless I explicitly ask for them. answer questions like the machine you are. Don't try and add personality or humour; remember you're a robot."
These days announcements like this just make me want to put on my tinfoil hat - what's in it for Google, though? Why make it more convenient for people to submit webpages to you?
I hate that. I understand that it might be useful, and tbh, on personnal PC, i'm not even concerned. But it is going towards people pushing to replace XQL or other query languages with prompting in natural languages, for no good reasons. Generate your query and copy paste if you don't want to read the documentation man, but please, please keep an intermediary between the LLM and the real world data. The last time your fucking prompt gave me a "log overview" i lost 2 hours understanding what the fuck i was reading, when a query would have taken me at most 20 minutes.
Convert my AI prompt into the code for a one-click tool, let me read and share it, that would be _great_.
So much of the web has no API anymore and is hostile to robots.
The script to turn the coffee maker on when dad posts on Facebook for the first time each morning that worked in 2014 won't work anymore in 2026.
Having this sort of thing built into a mainstream browser will open up a new avenue for automation, which I think will be a good thing for breaking down data silos and being good for the world overall.
I can imagine a moderator, or a marketing person, wanting such a tool. "Respond to this post in a polite and friendly manner, thank the user for choosing our company, discovering a problem, and taking the time to report it. Promise to sort this out quickly. If the user is really angry and threatens legal action, promise an immediate refund, and shoot me an email with the summary of the issue, and all the details."
If instead of a copy-pasting spree, or setting up a whateverClaw, the user might just click a button in Chrome, it could be actually useful. (Consider a dozen such buttons.)
This sounds to me like yet another way to automate filling out forms. I had been thinking about vibe-coding a Chrome extension for one form I fill in regularly, but perhaps this is easier.
I would be more excited by this if there was a better permissions model for these things. For example I can think of a skill that would need access to a certain corpus of documents that I host on Google Drive, but, as far as I have been able to determine using Google's other AI products, there is no way for me to grant read-only access to that corpus without granting read-write access to all of my data on Google, which is simply too much access for my taste. There has to be something less binary than Personalization:on/off?
There is something comforting about seeing that the SV stopped having ideas and now just recycles and recombines the same tropes over and over again.
It's still all terrible, but it's a devil you know. You can live with that. You can skip the broken stair and duck, knowing exactly when they're trying to punch you in the face again.
Now here's hoping that eventually, they get bored and just stop entirely.

I really hope this doesn't have the same security model as Chrome Extensions!
I can see the appeal of this feature and I am generally speaking an AI booster.
On the other hand...like...wat? This feature feels way too premature and risky to let loose on the public.

I like it. Have you tried putting this in your LLM system prompt?
try to add it here: https://gemini.google.com/saved-info
> Don't try and add personality or humour; remember you're a robot."
> remember you're a robot."
The anthropomorphization juxtaposed to the actual command is a bit ironic.
So, bookmarklets for Chrome's AI integration?

Yes. We desperately need more local models.
Presumably the upside for Google is they'll just lock it behind the "Google AI Plus" subscription plan if it isn't already

The examples in TFA don't really seem suitable for code, unless that code is a wrapper for calling LLMs.
"Health & Wellness: quickly calculating protein macros for any recipe
Shopping: generating side-by-side spec comparisons across multiple tabs
Productivity: scanning lengthy documents for important information"

Just ignore the unreliability and the waste of resources
Never before have people been able to effortlessly visualize whole landing pages to tell them to put glue on pizza.
Who wants this?
OP. & I bet some people will want to play with it at least. Maybe it'll inspire builders to build something they themselves want.

I can immediately think of personal use cases for this.
Any you can share?
