(Reuters) – Alphabet's (NASDAQ:) 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 flagship Gemini large language model, the report added, citing people with direct knowledge of the product.
Microsoft (NASDAQ:)-backed OpenAI also wants its models to conduct research by browsing the web autonomously with the help of a “CUA,” or an agent using a computer, which can take actions 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, according to the report.
Google did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.
