Gemini is coming to Chrome
Google, from 21 May, is going to be bringing Gemini into Chrome on desktop for Google AI Pro and Google AI Ultra subscribers in the US, by using English as the language on Google Chrome on Windows and macOS. This will allow for you to ask Gemini where complex information is on any web page and summarise any information. Google says that that in the future, Gemini will also be able to work across various multiple tabs and navigate websites on your behalf.
Google Canvas is now more powerful with Gemini 2.5 models
Google Canvas makes it possible for users to describe an idea and watch the Canvas feature create the code for them. Now, Google says, with 2.5, Gemini Canvas is now more powerful. You can create interactive infographics, quizzes, and even podcast and audio overviews in over 45 languages. Google says that users are rapidly bringing entire applications to life from your simple text page descriptions. Google says this dramatically lowers the barrier to creating software and prototyping ideas.

Google already had a Gemini Advanced subscription, and now it is introducing two new subscriptions called Google AI Pro and Google AI Ultra. Google AI Pro will cost $19.99 and expands on Gemini Advanced. Features like Flow, NotebookLM mode, all with higher rate limits and other special features.
As for Google AI Ultra, Google says it gets you access to Google’s most powerful models, like Google Veo and high rate limits. Google says you can think of the Ultra plan as a VIP pass to Google AI.
