"Google has pulled the plug on Project Mariner, an experimental feature designed to perform tasks for you across the web, as reported earlier by Wired's Maxwell Zeff."
"The Project Mariner landing page now contains a message that says: 'Thank you for using Project Mariner. It was shut down on May 4th, 2026 and its technology voyaged to other Google products.'"
"Over the past year, Google has integrated features powered by Project Mariner into its other AI tools, including Gemini Agent, which can do things like archive emails on your behalf or help you book a hotel."
"With the removal of Project Mariner, Google may be making room for the other AI features that could make their debut during this year's I/O, which starts on May 19th."
Google has officially shut down Project Mariner as of May 4th, 2026. Initially launched in December 2024, it allowed users to perform multiple tasks online. Its technology has been integrated into other Google products, including Gemini Agent and AI Mode. The recent introduction of an AI-powered feature called 'auto-browse' suggests a shift towards enhancing web browsing capabilities. The discontinuation of Project Mariner may pave the way for new AI features expected to be announced at the upcoming I/O event on May 19th.
