Google accidentally leaked Jarvis AI preview with its remote computer control capabilities

Google is once again making waves in the world of AI, with its new project, “Jarvis,” which is poised to redefine how users interact with technology. While Google’s existing AI assistant, Gemini, already offers a range of features, it seems the tech giant has something even more ambitious in the works. Recently, Google accidentally revealed a preview of Jarvis, a new AI tool, through a listing on its store page. The name is a nod to Tony Stark’s AI assistant in Iron Man, and this new project promises to go far beyond the typical functions we expect from an assistant.

According to a leaked description on the store page, Jarvis is designed as a “helpful companion that surfs the web for you.” This means Jarvis will be able to handle a variety of tasks independently, such as booking tickets, buying groceries, and conducting research—all without direct user input. Essentially, this AI will take over basic tasks on the web, saving users time and effort by automating routine chores.

While the Jarvis listing was quickly taken down, the glimpse revealed important details about its functionality. Jarvis will primarily operate within the Google Chrome browser, automating actions based on what it sees on the screen. For example, users might tell Jarvis to “find me a holiday for $500 on these dates, book it, and send me the details.” The AI would then handle everything from browsing options to making the purchase, providing updates as necessary.

Though the early version briefly appeared on the Google Chrome extension store, it was not fully functional at the time. Attempts to interact with Jarvis were blocked by access restrictions. The official unveiling is expected in December, and it will likely coincide with the release of Google’s Gemini 2.0 model.

Jarvis will face competition from other AI systems, such as Anthropic’s Claude, which is already capable of controlling certain elements on a computer. However, Jarvis is currently focused on browser-based tasks and doesn’t extend its capabilities beyond Chrome, unlike Claude, which can manipulate the entire system.

This project is part of Google’s ongoing push to enhance the capabilities of its AI, and with Jarvis, it seems poised to further integrate AI into the everyday digital experience. If the technology expands beyond Chrome in the future, it could eventually allow Jarvis to control entire devices, though there’s no confirmation yet on plans to extend its reach to ChromeOS or other systems.

Ultimately, Google’s Jarvis represents a major step forward in the evolution of AI assistants—an autonomous tool capable of handling increasingly complex tasks with minimal input from the user.
