OpenAI this week announced deeper integration between ChatGPT and Google Chrome, including the ability to hand control over your tabs to the AI assistant.
In a thread on Twitter/X, OpenAI details improvements to the ChatGPT extension for Google Chrome. The browser add-on now features deeper integration with Chrome, including the ability for ChatGPT to look at your open tabs and get things done with that context.
That starts with the ability to ask questions within ChatGPT that the AI can answer using the context of your open tabs, or even to control those open tabs to do things.
…ChatGPT can control your Chrome tabs to get things, like sending messages, filling out forms, or down files. It can even help you organize and group that pile of tabs you have open.
There’s also a sidebar UI that you can use ChatGPT through, similar to how you can use Chrome’s built-in Gemini integration.
Two videos show off the integration in action:
OpenAI lists examples including:
- Compare the three couches I have open by dimensions, material, delivery time, and return policy.
- Explain this article in plain English. What’s the main argument, and what evidence supports it?
- Compare these pricing pages against our requirements. Which plan includes everything we need?
- Use the details in this event brief to fill out the registration form, and stop before submitting.
- Put the vendors in these tabs into my comparison sheet, with pricing, key features, and source links.
- Look at all the tabs I have open and compare the contractor services. Then draft an email to the one that fits my home renovation.
- Fill out the form I have open in @chrome ahead of seeing my new dentist. Also, can you add the appointment to my work and personal calendar.
The ChatGPT extension is now available in the Chrome Web Store.
