# Discovering AI in Chrome with Fleet
|
|
|
|
Google Chrome, one of the most widely used web browsers, continually evolves to incorporate new features, including artificial intelligence (AI). This article will guide you through detecting if AI capabilities have been enabled in Chrome on macOS using Fleet.
|
|
|
|
## Using Fleet to discover AI features in Chrome
|
|
|
|
Google Chrome has integrated AI to enhance user experience by providing intelligent suggestions, improving search results, and offering in-browser assistance. Visit the [Chrome AI Innovations page](https://www.google.com/chrome/ai-innovations/) for more information.
|
|
|
|
### Step 1: Understanding Chrome's preferences JSON file
|
|
|
|
On macOS, Chrome stores user settings and configurations in a JSON file at the following path:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
/Users/<user>/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default/Preferences
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Step 2: Identifying AI-related settings
|
|
|
|
Chrome AI-related preferences are stored in the `optimization_guide` section of the Chrome Preferences file. The `tab_organization_setting_state` key / value field will signify if AI features are enabled.
|
|
|
|
`jq` is a lightweight and powerful command-line tool for parsing, filtering, and manipulating JSON data. It can extract and parse information from JSON files at specific key / value fields.
|
|
|
|
In this case, `jq` is used to locate and read the value of the `tab_organization_setting_state` key within the Chrome Preferences file. This knowledge allows an admin to craft a Fleet report to see the state of the Chrome AI settings.
|
|
|
|
- If enabled, the setting will return `1`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
% jq '.optimization_guide.tab_organization_setting_state' /Users/<user>/Library/Application\ Support/Google/Chrome/Default/Preferences
|
|
1
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- If disabled, the setting will return `2`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
% jq '.optimization_guide.tab_organization_setting_state' /Users/<user>/Library/Application\ Support/Google/Chrome/Default/Preferences
|
|
2
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Step 3: Find the JSON file with Fleet
|
|
|
|
To detect Chrome AI features in Fleet, use a report like the following:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
SELECT fullkey,path FROM parse_json WHERE path LIKE '/Users/%/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default/Preferences' AND fullkey='optimization_guide/tab_organization_setting_state';
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Conclusion
|
|
|
|
Fleet's powerful reporting abilities allow you to monitor features like these across all of your devices.
