Google began rolling out in the US on 10 28: Chrome's Enhanced Autofill leverages Gemini's Personal Intelligence to find order numbers, tracking numbers, flight bookings, and other information from Gmail, providing suggestions directly when filling out web forms; available to Gemini in Chrome users on desktop, Android, and iOS who have enabled Personal Intelligence.

Reasoning
- AI assistants in browsers are beginning to directly read email to fill out forms on behalf of users. According to The Verge, last year this feature could already fill in names, passport numbers, and addresses from Google accounts and Google Wallet; this time, the data sources have been expanded to include Gmail.
- TechCrunch believes this will make it harder for users to leave Chrome and Google's AI ecosystem.
Usage
- Manage whether Enhanced Autofill is enabled and which data it is allowed to access in Chrome settings, or disable it entirely; currently rolling out only in the US.
Risks
- Google only states that sensitive data is encrypted and user-controlled, without explaining how email content is processed or whether it is used for other purposes.
- The rollout is gradual, so users in China and other regions cannot use it for the time being.
