Gemini already allows users to ask questions about a web page, summarize its information, or perform various tasks. Skills will take it a step further by allowing users to create AI prompts that can be accessed time and again with just a click.

For instance, Google suggests that if a user often asks Gemini to suggest vegan substitutions when looking at recipe websites, they can now save that prompt and use it across different web pages.

To access the feature, save the AI prompt as a Skill directly from chat history. The Skill can then be reused in Gemini in Chrome by typing a forward slash ( / ) or clicking the plus sign ( + ) button. The Skill will then run on the web page that’s being viewed, along with any additional tabs that have been selected.

In tests, the company found that early adopters used Skills in areas like health and wellness — for instance, to calculate protein macros in recipes — or for shopping comparisons or scanning and summarizing lengthy documents.
