Google Launches 'Help Me Write' AI Feature in Chrome

Google has announced the launch of an experimental 'Help Me Write' AI feature in Chrome.

With this week's launch of Chrome M122, you can try out "Help me write" on Mac and Windows PCs starting in the U.S in English. Using Gemini models, the new feature will help you start writing or refine something you've already written — whether you're selling a piece of furniture, submitting a restaurant review or inquiring about a hotel reservation. The tool will understand the context of the webpage you're on to suggest relevant content. For example, as an avid gardener, if I'm writing a review for garden shears, Chrome will pull out relevant details about the item from the page to support my recommendation so it's more valuable to other hobbyists.

To turn on this feature, sign into Chrome, select "Settings" from the three-dot menu and navigate to the "Experimental AI" page. There, you'll see the option to enable "Help me write" (you can disable it at any time). Once you enable it, you're all set: Just right-click on an open text field within Chrome and select "Help me write" to get started.
