- description
- Use Google Gemini (gemini.google.com) to search the web via OpenClaw's browser control. Activates when user asks to search something using Gemini, or wants to browse to Gemini. Uses the user's existing Chrome session via Chrome MCP (profile="user"). Prerequisites: (1) Chrome must be running with remote debugging enabled (--remote-debugging-port=9222), (2) user profile must be connected and approved when prompted. If browser is not connected, guide user to start Chrome with debugging port first.
