Max Zeff / @zeffmax: Google has quietly shut down Project Mariner, its Chrome-browsing AI agent for completing tasks on users' behalf, after highlighting it onstage at I/O 2025  —  NEW: Google quietly shut down Project Mariner yesterday, the web-browsing AI agent it highlighted onstage last year at Google IO. I reported for WIRED, nearly 2 months ago, that Google had moved staffers off the Project Mariner team as it responded to OpenClaw-style agents. [image]
