Google is reportedly developing an AI agent codenamed ‘Project Jarvis’ that can control web browsers to complete everyday tasks for users

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.
