Google is working on artificial intelligence technology designed to take control of a web browser to handle tasks like research and online shopping, The Information reported on Saturday.
The company plans to showcase this technology, code-named Project Jarvis, as early as December alongside the release of its next flagship Gemini large language model, according to sources familiar with the project.
Microsoft (MSFT.O), opens new tab backed OpenAI also wants its models to conduct research by browsing the web autonomously with the assistance of a “CUA,” or a computer-using agent, that can take actions based on its findings, Reuters reported in July.
Anthropic and Google are ready to take agent concept a step further with software that engage directly with a person’s computer or browser, the report said.
