New ways to navigate the AI era with Google’s enterprise platforms and devices

For IT and security teams, the “wait and see” approach is over. The era of AI hasn't just arrived as a gradual shift—it has completely disrupted how users interact with apps, devices, and AI agents. IT teams are navigating a high-stakes reality where AI, security, and management are deeply tied together, and legacy systems simply cannot keep up.

Google’s enterprise platforms and devices are paving the way for this new approach to work. Our combination of the most used operating system and browser, paired with our unified approach to end user computing, means organizations will have the best AI models and secure endpoints, no matter what device they are working on.

Today, we’re announcing a suite of updates across these platforms and devices. This is a future where your browser detects AI data risk, your phones and laptops understand your key priorities, and your legacy apps are just as AI-powered as your modern ones.

Automating workflows for employees in Chrome

We’re using Gemini to turn everyday endpoints into powerful productivity engines.

We’re excited to announce that auto browse through Gemini in Chrome is now available for eligible Workspace users in the U.S. This agentic capability leverages the unique power of the browser to understand the live context of your open tabs, allowing Gemini to automate complex web-based work like booking travel, inputting data, or scheduling meetings.

Imagine asking auto browse to create a new opportunity in your preferred CRM tool based on the content in a Google Doc-auto browse can create the opportunity, pull in the relevant company information and even create contacts associated with the opportunity. For added control, auto browse is designed to pause and explicitly ask for your confirmation or for you to complete some tasks like making a purchase or hitting send on an email. This frees up your teams to focus on high-value strategic work while giving IT oversight. This capability can now be turned on via policy for eligible Workspace users and comes with Workspace’s data protections, ensuring that your organization’s prompts won’t be used to train our models.

We know that when employees find a great way to get help from Gemini in their browser, they want to be able to save, reuse and discover those AI workflows. If there are specific prompts you frequently type into Gemini in Chrome, you can save them as a Skill and reuse them with one click. The next time you need it, just type / in the Gemini side panel, select your Skill, and it runs instantly on whatever page you're viewing. Whether it's comparing vendor pricing across tabs, summarizing a candidate's portfolio during a hiring review, or pulling key data from a competitor's product page, Skills let teams build and share AI workflows tailored to how they actually work.

Supercharging mobile productivity with Pixel

We are reimagining the mobile experience so it adapts to your day, whether you're at a desk, in the field, or on the go.

The recently launched Pixel 10a is your intelligent business partner, offering capabilities thoughtfully built using Google AI to supercharge your productivity and creativity. Share your camera or screen in Gemini Live¹ to get real-time, contextual help by simply pointing your camera; pulling up a document with sales data; or getting help with instructions for a repair, all with live AI assistance. Pixel also provides enterprise-grade security backed by the Titan M2^TM chip.

And now it’s easier than ever to move tasks from mobile into a desktop-like experience, so employees can be productive however they work best. Pixel 8 devices and above now offer desktop mode,² allowing employees to connect their phone to a monitor for a full desktop windowing environment, taskbar and side-by-side apps included, without interrupting their mobile experience.

Additionally, Pixel devices are a secure option for today’s businesses. The past five generations of Pixel Pro phones have achieved the highest security feature rating in comparison to other leading global flagship phones, offering strong hardware and software protection features for your sensitive data.^3,4

Securing AI without compromise

As organizations adopt more AI tools, they face new security blind spots. Unmanaged autonomous agents can create "Shadow AI" hotspots, putting sensitive data at risk. And as threats continue to evolve, your defenses need to keep up.

Chrome Enterprise Premium already provides visibility into sensitive data transfers and allows IT teams to block unsanctioned AI tools and apply data protections to approved tools in the browser. But many organizations struggle to identify risky behavior from compromised extensions or AI services. Chrome Enterprise now surfaces advanced extension telemetry. This empowers IT teams to detect and respond to anomalous agent activity, ensuring that as users adopt new AI assistants, your security posture remains agent-aware and proactive. All of this data flows into Google SecOps and other SIEMs, giving an unprecedented amount of visibility into potential data loss risk.

In addition to extension AI visibility, we’re excited to announce new Shadow IT risk detection that will soon be available in Chrome Enterprise. Via the GenAI and SaaS app report, IT teams can get visibility into the usage of sanctioned and unsanctioned Gen AI and SaaS sites across their organization, allowing IT administrators to detect Shadow IT and Shadow AI risks.

Simplify IT with a modernized end-user computing stack

We’re bringing the power of Gemini to the overview page for Chrome Enterprise administrators. Now, IT teams will get a “Gemini Summary” of the Chrome Enterprise release notes and AI-powered suggestions for their fleet. This new module will surface critical changes, new policies, and upcoming deprecations relevant to their specific fleet. It utilizes Gemini to generate relevant recommendations such as configuring new settings or reviewing managed browsers.such as configuring new settings or reviewing managed browsers.

New protections are also coming to mobile devices. Mobile download protection is coming to Chrome on Android and iOS to block sensitive data downloads on unmanaged devices. Additionally, Chrome now supports hardware-backed client certificate provisioning on mobile for high-assurance, passwordless mTLS authentication.

From collaborative design and digital prototyping across continents to real-time assistance on the manufacturing floor, Android XR devices offer a significant opportunity to transform business operations. To help businesses deploy XR experiences at scale, we’re bringing Android Enterprise management to Android XR devices. The first wave of support focuses on corporate-owned, fully managed deployments, automated deployment with Android zero-touch enrollment, and app management through Managed Google Play.

Customers can now manage Android XR devices, starting with Samsung Galaxy XR, with solutions from 6 EMMs, including: ArborXR, ManageXR, Microsoft Intune, Omnissa WorkspaceONE, Samsung Knox Manage, and SOTI MobiControl.

Expanding protections across your existing security stack

True security should unify your platforms, not force you to choose between them. We are expanding our integrations with industry leaders so Google works seamlessly with the tools you already rely on.

Our partnership with Okta to secure the agentic enterprise has new exciting updates. To reduce session hijacking, one of the most common vectors for data theft, Okta is launching Device Bound Session Credentials (DBSC) in Beta on Windows to secure the Okta end-user dashboard. It cryptographically binds authentication sessions to a device's secure hardware, rendering stolen cookies useless. Our Device Trust Connector now enables Okta to ingest Chrome’s real-time posture checks—including a new Antivirus check signal—while new extensible SSO for macOS streamlines authentication for Apple users. Looking ahead, we are previewing Clear Managed Chrome Profile Browsing Data in H2. This allows Okta to trigger Chrome API commands to clear caches and cookies via Identity Threat Protection (ITP) policies, instantly purging local session data to block unauthorized access and reduce the blast radius on compromised devices.

Security controls for extensions are also seeing significant upgrades. Within the Google Admin Console, administrators will soon be able to configure risk thresholds to automatically block extensions based on third-party risk assessments from Spin.Ai and LayerX. For even broader protection, admins can block Chrome extensions by category—such as "Games"—to ensure the fleet remains focused and secure. While these capabilities are coming to Trusted Tester in the next few weeks, a new "Uninstall" feature is available today, allowing administrators to remotely remove compromised or high-risk extensions directly from the Admin console.

We are also introducing Microsoft Information Protection (MIP) Integration, enabling Chrome’s DLP engine to natively recognize and enforce Microsoft 365 sensitivity labels. This allows organizations to enforce consistent security policies, such as blocking uploads/downloads or restricting copy/paste actions, within Chrome based on the existing classification of their Microsoft documents.

We are witnessing a fundamental shift in the enterprise. Browsers and devices are now the true front lines of innovation and security. At Google, our mission isn’t just to provide the industry's most robust security or its most capable AI—it’s to deliver the power of both. By integrating Gemini AI directly into a secure-by-design ecosystem, we ensure your data stays locked down while your team remains empowered to do their best work without compromise. We’re not just securing the future; we’re building the intelligence to drive it. Stay tuned for more exciting enterprise innovations from Google.
