Conceptual engraving: an exploded mail organizer with one blue connector tab represents Gmail details flowing into browser autofill.

Google began rolling out enhanced Chrome autofill that can suggest order numbers, tracking details and flight bookings from Gmail through Gemini with Personal Intelligence. The feature is initially limited to U.S. users on desktop, Android and iOS who have Personal Intelligence enabled; Google Photos access is only planned for later.

Why it matters

Autofill is moving from stored form fields to contextual retrieval from private inboxes, making permission controls and source transparency central to browser AI.
