Google’s new AI tool, Project Jarvis, accidently leaked on the Chrome Web Store before quickly being pulled offline. This AI, named Jarvis, promises to help users automate everyday tasks, like making reservations and shopping for groceries, by processing screenshots and performing actions based on them.
According to information from its brief listing, Jarvis functions as an AI “companion” designed to operate through web browsers, handling common tasks without requiring human intervention.
How Google Jarvis AI extension may work?
As per the leaks suggests, the tool may work by analyzing screenshots, likely using Google’s Gemini 2.0 AI model to determine what actions to take. Tasks that Jarvis could complete include making reservations, placing online orders, and gathering information on specific topics.
Though a few users managed to download Jarvis before the extension was removed, they found that key functions were disabled, likely due to limited permissions on this pre-release version. Google swiftly took down the extension, but sources say we might see an official launch as early as December.
Google Jarvis AI to compete Claude AI assistant
Reports suggest that Jarvis might resemble capabilities seen in Anthropic’s Claude AI assistant, which can control a user’s computer to type, click, and browse. Google’s early release of Jarvis follows a wave of consumer AI integrations, setting the stage for competitive advancements in this field.
While Jarvis’ Chrome Web Store listing was quickly removed, Google has yet to officially confirm a launch date, though industry insiders expect it to be part of a wider AI rollout in December. Until then, users will have to wait for Google’s next step in bringing AI assistance to everyday tasks.
