Googlebook's best feature is already available in Chrome on your laptop
Android Central • • technology
Key Points:
- Googlebook's AI-powered Magic Pointer, which understands on-screen context and suggests actions based on the cursor's position, is now rolling out to Google Chrome on Windows and Mac desktop devices.
- Magic Pointer allows users to interact with webpage elements intuitively, such as creating calendar events from emails or comparing products by simply pointing at them.
- Google has not yet specified the exact rollout regions or user groups for the Magic Pointer feature in Chrome, but it is expected to expand soon, likely starting with English-speaking users in the U.S.
- The feature may be partially gated behind Google AI Pro or AI Ultra subscriptions, though this has not been confirmed.
- While Magic Pointer enhances Chrome's functionality, its availability outside Googlebook laptops may reduce the unique appeal of purchasing the new Googlebook devices.
