Google Chrome's AI Autofill Can Now Draw on Gmail for Form Details

What Is New

On 28 October 2026, TechCrunch and The Verge both reported an update to Google Chrome’s autofill feature. According to TechCrunch, Google said on Wednesday that Chrome will get an advanced version of autofill that helps users fill out online forms with suggestions pulled from their Gmail, with the user’s permission [1]. Chrome could suggest items such as a flight confirmation number, membership ID, tracking information, order number, address, phone number or credit card number by referencing email [1].

The Verge explains that Chrome’s enhanced autofill already received improvements last year, when it began using details such as a user’s name, passport number, email address and physical addresses from Google Accounts and services like Google Wallet. The new step uses Gemini with Personal Intelligence to suggest information from Gmail. The Verge says this can include a shipment’s tracking number, a flight booking number or hotel reservation, and the order number of a recent purchase. It could save users from searching for confirmation emails, receipts or shipping updates themselves [2].

TechCrunch describes the change as an expansion of Google’s Personal Intelligence. That feature already allows users to connect their Google apps to Gemini, Google’s AI assistant, so it can retrieve certain details and use them to answer complex questions [1].

The stage is rollout, not a full launch everywhere. Google is starting to roll out the enhanced autofill improvements in the US, according to The Verge [2]. TechCrunch says the feature is rolling out to US users on desktop, and in the iOS and Android apps for Gemini in Chrome [1].

How to Use It

• The feature is available through Gemini in Chrome for users who have Personal Intelligence turned on [2].
• According to TechCrunch, it rolls out on the desktop version and in the iOS and Android apps for Gemini in Chrome [1].
• Users can decide whether or not to enable enhanced autofill from their Chrome settings [1].
• Users can manage what enhanced autofill has access to in Chrome’s settings, or turn it off completely [2].

Limits, Privacy and Academic Integrity

Both reports say sensitive data is encrypted. The Verge says sensitive data shown as a suggestion while a form is being completed remains encrypted [2]. TechCrunch reports that Google notes sensitive data is encrypted [1].

As with other Personal Intelligence features, the reports say users choose whether to enable the enhanced autofill [1]. The feature depends on Personal Intelligence being turned on [2].

The reports describe a US rollout only. They do not give a date for availability in other countries, including Pakistan or the UAE. The reports do not mention a price or whether the feature costs anything extra.

The reports do not discuss students, schools, universities or academic use of the feature.
