WORLDTECHChatGPT can now read open Chrome tabs, download files and fill out forms
ChatGPT is now more deeply integrated with Google Chrome, and it can work with what is open in the browser. The development was reported by one outlet, which says the assistant can take context from open tabs and act on them.
What the integration lets ChatGPT do
According to the report, ChatGPT can draw context from open Chrome tabs and download files from them. The same account says the assistant can also fill out forms, using information from a user's ChatGPT history and from connected plugins.
The report describes a shift from the assistant answering questions about a page to it carrying out tasks on pages a user already has open.
Background from OpenAI and Google
OpenAI is an artificial intelligence company based in San Francisco, and ChatGPT is one of its products and services. Google is an internet and software company based in Mountain View, and Chrome is the browser in which the integration works.
OpenAI keeps improving ChatGPT week after week, and this addition follows that pattern of ongoing updates.
