Google is rolling out a feature called Skills in Chrome that allows users to save artificial intelligence prompts built with Gemini and reuse them across multiple webpages and devices with a single click.

Skills are available from today for Chrome desktop users with their account language set to US English.

The feature addresses a friction point in browser-based AI use, where applying the same prompt to different pages has until now required retyping or copying it each time.

"Until now, repeating an AI task — like asking for ingredient substitutions to make a recipe vegan — meant re-entering the same prompt as you visited different pages," Chrome product manager Hafsah Ismail said. "Skills lets you save and reuse your most helpful AI prompts and run them with a single click."

Users can save prompts as Skills directly from their Gemini chat history on desktop, then apply them to any open tabs they select.

Skills sync across desktop devices signed into the same Google account in Chrome, meaning a prompt created on one machine is available on others without manual transfer.

Google said testers used Skills to calculate nutritional information while browsing recipes and to generate side-by-side product comparisons while shopping, illustrating use cases where the same analytical task recurs across multiple pages in a single session.

Users can access their saved Skills by typing a forward slash in the Gemini interface or clicking the compass icon, and Google is also providing a library of preset Skills for users who prefer not to create custom prompts from scratch.

The rollout is currently limited to Chrome desktop and to accounts with language set to US English.

The feature adds to a series of AI integrations Google has been building into Chrome, positioning the browser as a persistent surface for Gemini-powered assistance rather than a route to standalone AI tools.The recap

  • Chrome adds Skills to save and reuse Gemini prompts.
  • Feature is rolling out to US English Chrome users.
  • Skills are saved on desktop and sync across devices.
