<h2>What Is Project Mariner?</h2>
<p>Project Mariner is Google's most sophisticated AI agent yet, designed to navigate the web autonomously. Unlike previous AI assistants that primarily answered questions or generated content, Mariner can:</p>
<ul>
<li>Navigate multiple websites simultaneously</li>
<li>Complete complex multi-step processes</li>
<li>Fill in forms and input information</li>
<li>Extract and synthesise data from various sources</li>
<li>Execute nearly a dozen tasks in a single session</li>
</ul>
<p>The system builds on Google's previous AI advancements but adds a crucial new capability: the ability to understand and interact with web interfaces designed for humans, effectively "seeing" and comprehending webpage elements like buttons, forms, and navigation menus.</p>
