Gemini in Chrome rolls out to Latin America, Africa, Middle East and more
Google is expanding its built-in AI assistant, Gemini, in the Chrome browser to users in Latin America, Africa, the Middle East, and other new regions. The feature was previously limited to certain countries.
Chrome has Gemini built directly into the browser, so users can ask questions or get AI help without downloading a separate app. Until now, this was mostly available in a handful of countries, but this expansion opens it up to a much larger part of the world.
For solo developers and makers, this means more people globally — including potential customers or collaborators in these regions — will have easy access to a capable AI tool right in their browser. It also signals that Google is moving quickly to spread Gemini worldwide, which is useful context for anyone tracking the competitive AI landscape.
