Google is working on an innovative AI assistant, Project Jarvis, which is supposed to make web browsing experience more efficient for users. This AI could be much more phenomenal, built to help users automate everyday online tasks such as making basic research inquiries, shopping, and booking flight tickets. As per the newest reports, Project Jarvis is set for presentation in December, particularly to boost user experience within browsers like Google Chrome. This will see users hand over basic mundane tasks to Jarvis, thus boosting efficiency in their day-to-day online interactions.
There is an AI behind Project Jarvis that takes screenshots of a user’s computer screen. It reads the images to understand what it has to do. For example, suppose you are looking for tickets for a flight. In that case, Jarvis will be able to understand what buttons to press and what fields to fill out and do it automatically. This feature seeks to streamline those tasks that would typically involve a lot of clicks – filling forms again and again – saving users time and effort.
This output is in line with Google's ongoing efforts to expand its capabilities in AI, namely, its Gemini AI. The new iteration of Gemini will also be out in December, showing off new language support and features built into different Google applications like Meet and Photos.
Interestingly, Google's call comes just after Anthropic announced the launch of a similar feature for its Claude AI, which is already available in public beta. Anthropic's version, however, is going further as it handles a wide range of standard software tools. Going forward, as both companies push the boundaries of AI in everyday tasks, users can expect an increased opportunity in everyday interactions with the digital world.
