Chrome is rolling out an enhanced autofill feature that can suggest information pulled from Gmail while users fill out online forms. The feature uses Gemini and Personal Intelligence and is available to Gemini in Chrome users who have Personal Intelligence enabled—not to Chrome users generally.
Examples of information that may be suggested include flight booking numbers, membership IDs, tracking information, order numbers, addresses, phone numbers and credit card numbers. Google’s update extends Chrome autofill beyond names, addresses and credit card numbers already used by the browser’s existing autofill feature.
Gmail details appear in autofill
When suggestions are available, Chrome’s autofill dropdown can show a “Suggested by Gemini” option. The feature is intended to bring information from Gmail into the browser’s form-filling process.
9to5Google describes the change this way:
Chrome autofill can now “automatically suggest information pulled directly from Gmail as you fill out online forms.”
9to5Google, reporting on Chrome
The rollout is underway in the United States for eligible users on desktop, Android and iOS. The reports describe it as rolling out, so availability may not be immediate for everyone who has Personal Intelligence enabled.
Users can manage enhanced autofill in settings
Users can remove individual suggestions or disable the enhanced autofill experience in Chrome settings, according to 9to5Google. TechCrunch also reports that users can choose whether to enable the feature from those settings. The available reports do not describe it as an automatic default for every Chrome user.
Google’s March 17, 2026, description of Personal Intelligence provides broader context for the feature. Google said Personal Intelligence can connect apps such as Gmail and Google Photos to provide responses tailored to a user, and that users choose whether to connect those apps and can turn connections on or off. That post discussed Personal Intelligence across Google products; it was not an announcement of this October autofill rollout.
Personal Intelligence comes to Chrome
Google said in March that Personal Intelligence was expanding in the United States to Gemini in Chrome, as well as to AI Mode in Search and the Gemini app. The October reports describe a particular use of that system: Chrome can offer information from Gmail as autofill suggestions in online forms.
The reports also say that sensitive data is encrypted. 9to5Google says users remain in control and can remove specific suggestions or turn off enhanced autofill. TechCrunch reports that users can enable or disable the feature through Chrome settings.
The feature’s eligibility requirement is an important part of the rollout: users need Personal Intelligence enabled for Gemini in Chrome. 9to5Google reports availability for those users in the United States across desktop, Android and iOS. The reports do not say that the feature is available to every Chrome user, nor do they give a date by which the rollout will reach all eligible users.
