A coworker in your sidebar
The agent works in the Chrome side panel beside your page, in the session you are already signed into.
Repeat work with Recipes
Save a good run as a Recipe. The next run finishes faster and spends fewer tokens.
Finished work
Built to run browser work faster
Verified actions and Recipes cut both the minutes and the tokens a task costs.
Faster, steadier browser steps
Verified actions drive each site directly and recover when pages change, instead of re-parsing from scratch.
Recipes cut time and tokens
Save a good run as a Recipe. Reruns skip the exploration, so they finish faster and spend fewer tokens.
The task still ends in an artifact
Browser research becomes a report, CSV, or prospect set, ready to share or export.
