If Atlas is successful, there's no reason why Google won't try to mimic it. They already have Chrome and Gemini, all they'd have to do is put Gemini directly into Chrome, dedicate some TPUs to Gemini instances that are tied to Chrome, and boom, it's Atlas.



Gemini is already in Chrome. Atlas seems neat but it is not a unique product.

Regulation.


They already have Gemini for chrome which no one uses.


There's a dedicated button for it, now .. I speculate its usage will take up soon.

- Chrome 141.0.7390.108 macOS


Yes, I don't use Chrome, but had to open it the other day and noticed an "AI Mode" button in the URL bar. No thank you.


and there is Copilot for Edge which no one uses.

It can also summarize pages, scale recipes etc.


That Copilot feature is very useful actually, the summarize is good enough for a free AI with no ads.


Not sure how you can say that. Half the time you do a search the answer comes from Gemini. It might be the most used, without anyone doing it deliberately.

Google would never do that! /s
