Google Chrome showing Skills, which save and reuse AI workflows in the browser.

You can stop retyping the same AI prompt every time you compare products, scan a long document, or clean up a webpage. Google just added Skills in Chrome, which lets you save a prompt once and run it again with one click.

For beginners, the win is simple: when you finally land on a prompt that works, you do not have to rebuild it from scratch tomorrow.

What changed

Google says you can now save a useful prompt directly from your Gemini in Chrome chat history as a Skill. Later, you can trigger that saved Skill by typing a forward slash or clicking the plus button, and Chrome will run it on the page you are viewing or across other tabs you select.

Google's examples are practical right away: compare products across multiple tabs, scan long documents for the parts that matter, or turn a recipe into a version that fits your diet. The feature is rolling out on Mac, Windows, and ChromeOS for people using Chrome in English (US).

The first workflow to try

Use it for product comparisons. Open two to five tabs for tools, software plans, or gear you are considering, then run one saved Skill that asks for the differences in price, limits, pros, cons, and the best pick for your needs.

That is better than pasting the same comparison prompt over and over, and it is easier to trust because you can see the exact tabs Chrome is using.

Other easy uses

  • Scan a long policy, contract, or help article for deadlines, fees, or gotchas.
  • Turn any recipe page into a vegan, high-protein, or low-budget version.
  • Pull the key takeaways from a long article before you send it to a coworker.
  • Review several tabs at once before you choose a gift, vendor, or subscription plan.

How to use it

  1. Open Gemini in Chrome and run a prompt that solves a job you repeat often.
  2. If the result is good, save that prompt as a Skill from your chat history.
  3. Next time, open the page or tabs you want, then trigger the Skill with a slash or the plus button.
  4. Edit the saved Skill if you want the output shorter, stricter, or more personalized.

What to do today

  1. Pick one prompt you have already used at least three times this month.
  2. Save it as a Skill instead of leaving it buried in an old chat.
  3. Test it on one real task today, ideally a comparison or document scan.
  4. If it works, name it clearly so it becomes part of your normal browser routine.
