Google Chrome AI Autofill Uses Gmail to Complete Forms
Google rolls out AI enhanced Chrome Autofill in the U.S., using Gmail to suggest flight codes, IDs, order details, addresses, phone and credit card numbers.
Summary
At 10:00 a.m. PDT on Wednesday, October 28, 2026, Google announced an advanced AI version of Chrome Autofill that references Gmail to suggest details for online forms. It can retrieve flight confirmation numbers, membership IDs, tracking information, order numbers, addresses, phone numbers and credit card numbers.
The feature expands Google’s Personal Intelligence, which connects Google apps to Gemini so the assistant can retrieve personal details and answer complex questions. Enhanced Autofill is optional in Chrome settings, and Google says sensitive data is encrypted. It is rolling out to U.S. users on desktop and through the iOS and Android apps for Gemini in Chrome. The convenience could strengthen Chrome and Google’s AI ecosystem, echoing Apple’s one-tap insertion of verification codes received by text.
