Turn your AI prompts into one-click tools using skills in Chrome

Professionals are using Gemini in Chrome to accelerate their daily workflows—from summarizing complex reports to drafting client emails and analyzing market data.

Until now, repeating a high-value AI task meant re-entering the same prompt every time you navigated to a new page or document. To streamline your workday, we’re launching skills in Chrome for eligible Workspace users. This feature allows you to save your most effective prompts and run them instantly with a single click, no matter where you are on the web.

By turning your proven prompts into reusable skills, you can focus less on prompt engineering and more on high-impact work.
