Google shuts down Project Mariner

谷歌关闭 Project Mariner 项目

The Project Mariner experiment lives on in Gemini Agent and AI Mode. Project Mariner 实验项目将在 Gemini Agent 和 AI Mode 中继续存在。

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.” 据《连线》（Wired）杂志的 Maxwell Zeff 此前报道，谷歌已经关停了 Project Mariner。这是一项旨在跨网页为你执行任务的实验性功能。目前 Project Mariner 的落地页显示：“感谢您使用 Project Mariner。该项目已于 2026 年 5 月 4 日关闭，其技术已整合至谷歌的其他产品中。”

Google first revealed Project Mariner in December 2024 and later announced an update allowing it to perform up to 10 tasks at a time. 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. Google also folded Project Mariner’s agentic capabilities into its AI-powered search feature, AI Mode. 谷歌于 2024 年 12 月首次披露了 Project Mariner，随后宣布了一项更新，使其能够同时执行多达 10 项任务。在过去的一年中，谷歌已将由 Project Mariner 驱动的功能整合到其其他 AI 工具中，包括 Gemini Agent。Gemini Agent 可以代你归档电子邮件或协助预订酒店。此外，谷歌还将 Project Mariner 的智能代理能力融入了其 AI 搜索功能——AI Mode 中。

Earlier this year, Google showed off a new AI-powered feature, called “auto-browse,” that can perform multi-step tasks in Chrome, like researching flight costs. Though Google doesn’t say whether it’s powered by Project Mariner, it seems like a response to the agentic web browsing tools offered by OpenAI, Perplexity, and OpenClaw. 今年早些时候，谷歌展示了一项名为“自动浏览”（auto-browse）的 AI 新功能，它可以在 Chrome 浏览器中执行多步骤任务，例如查询机票价格。虽然谷歌并未说明该功能是否由 Project Mariner 提供支持，但这似乎是对 OpenAI、Perplexity 和 OpenClaw 所提供的智能网页浏览工具的一种回应。

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 didn’t immediately respond to The Verge’s request for comment. 随着 Project Mariner 的下线，谷歌可能是在为今年 5 月 19 日 I/O 大会上即将亮相的其他 AI 功能腾出空间。谷歌未立即回应 The Verge 的置评请求。
