Google has recently integrated its Gemini AI into Chrome with a new "Auto Browse" feature, while also experiencing an accidental leak of its "Aluminium OS," a hybrid of Android and ChromeOS, according to multiple news sources. The "Auto Browse" feature, similar to OpenAI's Atlas, allows Gemini to automate tasks and interact with Google services like Gmail and Calendar directly within Chrome's side panel, Ars Technica reported.
The leaked "Aluminium OS," designed for PCs, was revealed through a bug report, with videos initially spotted by 9to5Google and shared by Android Authority, The Verge noted. The videos showcased an Android 16-based system featuring a ChromeOS-like taskbar and an Android-style status bar, seemingly tested on an HP Chromebook.
In related news, Moltbot, an open-source AI assistant created by Peter Steinberger, has rapidly gained popularity, reaching over 69,000 stars on GitHub, Ars Technica reported. Moltbot, formerly known as Clawdbot, has drawn comparisons to Jarvis from Iron Man due to its proactive communication and task management capabilities across various messaging platforms. However, despite its potential, Moltbot currently relies on subscriptions to Anthropic or OpenAI for optimal performance and presents significant security risks due to its server configuration and authentication requirements, according to multiple news sources.
The integration of AI into various platforms and operating systems, alongside the emergence of independent AI assistant projects like Moltbot, highlights the increasing role of AI in technology. While these advancements offer potential benefits, they also raise concerns about security and reliance on external subscriptions.
