Google announced an automatic web-browsing feature for Chrome in the enterprise environment, enabling Gemini AI to understand context from open tabs and assist users in handling multiple tasks on the web. With this feature, users can have Gemini fill information into their company's CRM based on content in Google Docs, compare price lists from multiple providers across different tabs, summarize candidate profiles ahead of interviews, and collect data from product pages of competitors. It also supports scheduling meetings, data entry, and other repetitive office tasks. Humans remain the final approvers. Google emphasizes that all workflows require human oversight. Before any operation is executed, users must review and confirm the AI-proposed results. The goal is to shorten the time spent on repetitive tasks and give employees more time for tasks requiring strategic thinking. However, real-world studies show that AI does not actually reduce workload and may increase pressure as managers expect employees to complete more tasks in the same time using the new tool. The real-world effectiveness at enterprise scale remains an open question. Deployment will begin in the United States and is offered to Google Workspace users in the U.S. Admins can enable the feature through the organization’s policy settings. Google confirms that the commands entered by the organization will not be used to train AI models, a commitment increasingly emphasized as many tech firms use user data for training. Similar to the consumer version, Workspace accounts can also save frequently used workflows as 'Skills'. These can be invoked by typing a slash '/' or clicking the plus sign in the interface. Chrome Enterprise Premium extends the security capabilities of Chrome Enterprise. The new feature allows a company’s IT department to detect compromised browser extensions, as well as AI services operating abnormally or not yet approved by the organization. Google calls this capability a risk-detection tool for internally developed software not controlled (Shadow IT). This helps the IT team monitor all AI and online service activity within the organization, including both approved and unapproved tools. Additionally, IT teams receive Gemini-synthesized summaries of Chrome Enterprise updates, including important changes, new policies, features slated for removal, and recommendations on configuration and browser management within the organization. On the security front, Google says it is expanding cooperation with Okta to enhance safety in environments with multiple AI actors, including measures to prevent session hijacking. The company also upgrades security controls for extensions and integrates Microsoft Information Protection (MIP) to help organizations enforce consistent security policies across the system.
Premium gym chains are entering a “golden era” that is ending or already in decline, as rising operating costs collide with shifting consumer preferences toward more flexible, community-based ways to exercise. Long-term memberships are shrinking, margins are pressured by higher rents and facility expenses, and competition from smaller, more personalized…
