🤖 AI FOR BEGINNERS

What Is “AI Browser Navigation & Mini-Apps (GenTabs)?”
AI browser navigation refers to AI interpreting your browsing behavior and content to create dynamic, task-oriented tools. Instead of opening multiple tabs and manually juggling content, an AI browser can transform that into interactive widgets or actionable summaries — think travel planners, research dashboards, or study helpers that understand context between tabs.

Why it matters:
✔ Makes the web less siloed and more actionable
✔ Reduces user friction — no more tab overload
✔ Signals a shift from passive browsing to active AI workflows

Beginner move:
Try AI features like Google Labs’ GenTabs or experimental browser experiences to see how AI can package your web tasks into structured flows — even simple ones like travel routes or project overviews will feel dramatically more efficient.
