The Ask Gemini feature in Chrome can only access information about your current (active tab). It can summarize the tab, you can follow up with questions, and more, but you’re limited to that same tab. That might be changing soon.

According to a post from @Leopeva64 on X, Google is working on a feature that says “Ask Gemini about this group.” Potentially, this means Gemini might be able to access other open tabs in the browser, instead of just your current one.

Gemini in Chrome may soon let you ask it about specific tab groups (just like you can in Edge with Copilot). A prototype in Gerrit mentions the addition of a new "Ask Gemini about this group" entry in the tab group editing bubble:https://t.co/cEDIaLwOAl pic.twitter.com/xzQNKyovMo

A similar feature already exists on Microsoft’s Edge. The “Ask Copilot” feature does support queries about other tabs. For example, I’ve asked about my current tab workflow. It can recognize all of the tabs I have open, including the ones that aren’t in active view. It also has the ability to summarize the tab group. For now, none of this is possible on Chrome.

In fact, I’ve tried doing the same thing on Google Chrome. Asking about my currently open tabs returns nothing, since the AI doesn’t have any access to them. It can only describe information about my active tab.

Since the Gerrit commit mentions “Ask Gemini about this group,” Google is probably working on removing this restriction. Once this update makes it to the stable version of Chrome, Gemini has the potential to describe the tabs in a group, summarize them, and there would be a lot of actions we can perform with it. At the time of writing, it’s not even live in Chrome Canary.

The changes to the code (in the commit) also mention the Android platform, so Gemini in Chrome should intelligently summarize/give info about tab groups on Android as well.

In other Chrome news, a demo from Google shows a practical and brilliant way to use AI search. More on that here.
