Alphabet’s Google is developing artificial intelligence technology that takes over a web browser to complete tasks such as research and shopping, The Information reported on Saturday.

Google is set to demonstrate the product, codenamed Project Jarvis, as soon as December with the launch of its next Gemini large tongue model, the report added, citing people with direct knowledge of the product.

Microsoft-backed OpenAI also wants its models to conduct autonomous web browsing research with the assistance of a “CUA,” or computer-using agent, that can take action based on its findings, Reuters reported in July .

Anthropic and Google are trying to take the agent concept a step further with software that interacts directly with a person’s computer or browser, the report said.

Google did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.
