Google has launched Project Mariner, an AI agent that can independently browse the web, fill out forms, make purchases, and complete multi-step tasks on behalf of users.

How It Works

Users describe a task in natural language and the agent takes over the Chrome browser, navigating websites, clicking buttons, and entering information just like a human would. It can book flights, order groceries, or file expense reports.

Safety Measures

The agent requires explicit user confirmation before any financial transaction and operates within a sandboxed browser environment. Users can watch the agent work in real-time and intervene at any point.
