You might be able to ask Gemini info about tab groups in Chrome soon

The Ask Gemini feature in Chrome currently works with the tab you choose to share. You can attach additional tabs one by one, but Google may soon make this easier by letting you attach an entire tab group and ask Gemini about its contents.

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 the entire tab group, so you don’t have to specifically attach tabs individually.

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.

The image below shows that Edge gives you a “+2 tabs” indicator, implying that the entire tab group is being shared with Copilot.

If I wanted to replicate the same results on Chrome, I would need to specifically attach the tabs to the chat using the “@” button. After Google releases the feature, it would be possible to attach an entire tab group instead, eliminating the need to do it one by one.

Since the Gerrit commit mentions “Ask Gemini about this group,” you’d likely be able to describe, summarize, and more. However, 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.
