I Tried Gemini's New Skills Feature In Chrome - And It's Like A Mini Toolkit Of AI Shortcuts
techradar.pro, Monday, April 20th, 2026
Google's new Skills feature inside Gemini for Chrome enables you to save Gemini prompts you've used on a web page, so you can use them on others. So, if you find yourself asking for the same kind of help again and again, you can save that request and run it instantly on whatever page you are viewing. It takes the most repetitive part of using AI and removes it, turning a prompt into something closer to a tool.
That shift becomes more obvious the moment you stop thinking of prompts as one-off instructions and start treating them like part of your browser.
Just open Gemini in Chrome and type an instruction based on what you want the AI to do. This can be anything from summarizing a page to comparing multiple tabs. After running the prompt once and confirming it produces the kind of result you want, you can click "Save" to save it as a Skill directly from your chat history.
