Are you from Chrome? And Gemini? Then you must know this “shortcut” if you missed it, because it is the most convenient. Let’s see how to chat with Gemini directly from the Chrome address bar, a simple and quick way to ask a question without having to keep a tab open all the time and the chatbot waiting.

In fact, this is nothing new: a few versions ago, the browser added this option and many others, as it implemented a series of quick commands that can be used to perform different types of searches from the same address bar. Basically, just like typing and pressing enter It will perform a search or take you to the specified URL if the first thing you type is on…

If you do, you will see available commands:

• @Gemini
• @markers
• @record
• @algae

You pick the one you’re interested in and the term you type below becomes a specific search in your bookmarks, browsing history or tabs you have open… Or, as the case may be, with @gemini you can “chat with Gemini”without further ado excuse the redundancy. It’s the most affordable way to do it without having a chatbot on board.

Of course, the most productive method to use this feature is to rely on the keyboard, because if you have to use the mouse, you don’t care where you click. Therefore, remember that the arrow keys on your keyboard have a purpose. Once you get used to doing everything with the keyboard, you’ll notice how your productivity (in this case specifically, but also in general) improves.

And there is no more. If you’re from Chrome and Gemini and didn’t know about this feature, you already know. And as you can see, it is used to search for other resources in the browser.
