Google rolls out Project Mariner, its web-browsing AI agent


Google is rolling out Project Mariner, an AI agent born out of Google DeepMind that browses and uses websites on a user's behalf.

Google also says it’s bringing Project Mariner’s capabilities to the Gemini API and Vertex AI, allowing developers to build out applications powered by the agent. A Google spokesperson tells TechCrunch the company updated Project Mariner to run on virtual machines in the cloud, much like agents from OpenAI and Amazon. As I noted in my initial review, Project Mariner’s early design meant users couldn’t use other tabs or apps on their desktop while the AI agent was working.
