Google is reportedly developing an AI agent codenamed ‘Project Jarvis’ that can control web browsers to complete everyday tasks for users, and a possible preview could come as early as December, according to The Information. The details: - The system captures and interprets browser screenshots to navigate websites and input information. - Jarvis will initially focus on consumer tasks like online shopping, research, and travel booking. - The agent is specifically optimized for web browsers (not full computer use) and reportedly currently operates with a few-second delay between actions. - The release is expected to coincide with Google's launch of its next-gen Gemini AI model before the end of the year. Google’s ‘Jarvis’ news may have been a bit more exciting if the release (still months away) didn’t come immediately on the heels of Anthropic’s live computer use feature. The launch, coming alongside a Gemini upgrade, could give Google some momentum heading into the new year — or disappoint after the longer wait.
