Google Chrome is getting a smarter autofill experience that can save users from digging through their inbox whenever an online form asks for information from a recent purchase or flight booking. The browser can now pull relevant details directly from Gmail and suggest them when filling out forms.
Announced on October 28, 2026, Google’s enhanced autofill feature uses Gemini with Personal Intelligence to bring information from Gmail into Chrome’s form-filling experience. Instead of switching between browser tabs and searching through emails for an order confirmation or flight reservation, users can get relevant information as an autofill suggestion.
The update expands Chrome’s traditional autofill capabilities, which have typically focused on information such as names, addresses, and payment card details. The new experience takes things further by using information already available in a user’s Gmail inbox.
Chrome can find order numbers, tracking details, and flight bookings
With enhanced autofill, Chrome can automatically suggest information pulled from Gmail when users encounter compatible online forms.
For example, someone trying to check an order’s status on a retailer’s website might need to enter an order number or tracking information. Previously, that could mean opening Gmail, searching for the purchase confirmation, copying the relevant details, and returning to the original website.
Chrome can now handle much of that back-and-forth by surfacing the relevant information directly during form completion.
The same idea applies to flight bookings. If a travel website requests information associated with an existing reservation, Chrome can use details found in Gmail to provide relevant suggestions.
Google is using Gemini with Personal Intelligence to make this possible. Rather than simply storing information that users have manually entered into Chrome, the feature can retrieve relevant details from their email history when needed.
Gemini with Personal Intelligence powers the experience
The integration is another example of Google bringing Gemini-powered capabilities into its existing products. Personal Intelligence allows Google’s AI experiences to use relevant information from connected personal services to provide more contextual assistance.
However, accessing information from Gmail also raises understandable questions about privacy, particularly when that information includes travel reservations, purchase records, and other personal details.
Google says sensitive data is encrypted and users remain in control of the feature. Chrome settings let users manage whether enhanced autofill is enabled and what information it can access.
This means users have controls over the experience rather than being required to use the Gmail integration as part of Chrome’s standard autofill functionality.
Enhanced autofill starts rolling out in the US
Google says enhanced autofill is beginning to roll out in the United States across desktop, Android, and iOS.
There is an important eligibility requirement, though: the feature is available to Gemini in Chrome users who have Personal Intelligence enabled. It is not being introduced as a universal autofill upgrade for every Chrome user.
The rollout also highlights Google’s broader effort to make Gemini useful beyond standalone AI conversations. By bringing personal information into everyday browser interactions, Chrome can take care of small but repetitive tasks without requiring users to manually move information between apps.
For people who regularly shop online or travel, that could make filling out forms considerably less frustrating.
