Chrome extension
An AI agent in Chrome's side panel
Ask about the page you're reading, build small tools for the sites you use by describing them, and let the agent click, type and download in your own signed-in browser. Same account, chats and tools as automatio.ai.
Free to install. Works in Chrome 125 or newer.
Side panel
@page Put every product on this page in a table with its name, price and rating, and mark the ones under $50.

What it does
Everything Automatio does, next to the page
The side panel is the whole app, not a cut-down chat. The extension adds what only a browser can: the page you're on, and your own signed-in tabs.
The full agent beside any page
Your chats, agents, tools and history from automatio.ai, open next to whatever site you're on. One account, nothing to set up twice.
Ask about the page you're on
Add the page with @page, its address with @url, your selection with @selection, or what's on screen with @screenshot, then ask.
Right-click to ask
Select text, an image or the whole page, right-click and choose Ask Automatio. It lands in the side panel, ready for your question.
Build tools by describing them
Say what a tool should do on this site. Automatio writes it, tries it on the page, fixes errors up to three times and shows you the result before you save.
Let the agent use your browser
Switch a chat to My browser and the agent works in tabs it opens in your signed-in Chrome: reading, clicking, typing, filling forms and downloading.
Keep and share your tools
Tools sync to your account and run from the right-click menu. Share one by link; whoever installs it gets your updates unless they pin a version.
Try these
Things to ask on the page you're on
Open the side panel on any site and send one of these as written, or change the details.
Turn a page into a table
Prices, listings, specs or contacts, pulled out of the page into rows you can copy.
@page Put every product on this page in a table with its name, price and rating.
Make a one-click tool
Describe it once and it sits in your right-click menu for next time.
Make a tool that copies the title, price and link of the product on this page as one line I can paste into a sheet.
Explain a selection
A clause, a chart, a term you don't know: select it and ask.
@selection Explain this in plain words and tell me what to watch out for.
Fill a form from your notes
With My browser on, the agent opens the form in its own tab and types your details in.
Open [form address] and fill it in with these details: [your details]. Stop before you submit so I can check it.
Fetch a file from an account you're signed in to
The agent uses your own Chrome, so sites you're signed in to stay signed in.
Go to my [service] billing page and download last month's invoice as a PDF.

What it does and doesn't do
It does
- Read a page only when you add it, right-click it, or a tool or the agent opens it.
- Work in tabs it opens itself and leave your other tabs alone.
- Wait for your approval when a chat is set to Ask first.
- Keep the API keys your own tools use on your device.
It doesn't
- Run in Firefox or Safari. Neither lets an extension drive the browser the way Chrome does.
- Read your clipboard or the values of httpOnly cookies.
- Work on chrome:// pages, the Chrome Web Store, or pages framed by another extension, such as a password manager.
- Run tools on a schedule. A tool runs when you run it.
Questions
Is it free?
Installing it is free, and the free Automatio plan includes it. Asking the agent uses credits from your Automatio account, the same as on automatio.ai. A script tool that runs in your browser without calling Automatio costs nothing.
Does it work in Edge or Brave?
Both install it from the Chrome Web Store; Edge first asks you to allow extensions from other stores. We build and test it in Chrome, version 125 or newer.
Why isn't there a Firefox or Safari version?
The agent works in your browser through Chrome's debugger API. Firefox and Safari have nothing equivalent for extensions, so the main feature could not work there.
What does it send to Automatio?
Only what you add or ask for: the page text with @page, a screenshot, a selection, or what the agent reads in the tabs it opens. It goes to your Automatio account and the AI models that answer. The extension has no analytics or trackers, and voice input is transcribed by OpenAI Whisper.
Why does Chrome say it is being debugged?
Chrome shows that bar whenever an extension controls a tab through its debugger, which is how the agent works in your browser. It appears only while a run uses your browser, and dismissing it stops the agent.
Can the agent see my other tabs or passwords?
It works only in tabs it opened itself. It can't read httpOnly cookie values or your clipboard, and it can't attach to pages that a password manager's extension has framed.
Do I need an account?
Yes. The side panel is automatio.ai, so you sign in there. The extension itself stores no passwords.
