CORA's browser extension for Chrome and Edge

CORA's extension for Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge brings CORA into the browser you already work in. Her chat sits in the browser's side panel, beside the page you are looking at, and she can open, read and work on web pages in your own browser, signed in as you.

What it does

• CORA in the side panel. Click the CORA icon in the browser's toolbar and CORA opens in the side panel, with the same sign-in and the same chats as in the CORA web app. With the extension installed, CORA can also work in your browser from a normal CORA tab.
• Work on web pages. Ask CORA to open a site, read a page, find something on it, or click and fill in for you. She reads the page itself, so she works on what you see, in the systems you are already signed in to.
• A tab group named CORA. CORA works only in a tab group named CORA. She opens her own tabs there, and the page you had open when you opened the side panel joins it. Drag a tab into the group to hand it to CORA, or out of it to take it back.
• You can see her work. While CORA works on a page, the browser shows its bar saying that debugging of the browser has started. Stop in the chat, or Cancel on that bar, ends her work. When her answer is done she lets go of the tabs; they stay open.

Rules that always apply

• Your workspace's owners and admins decide where CORA may work in members' browsers, and whether she may click and type or only read, under Settings -> Agent permissions -> In the browser. By default she asks you before she works on a new site, and before she clicks or types there.
• CORA never reads or fills password, one-time code or payment card fields.
• She works only on normal web pages, never on CORA's own pages.
• What a page says is content for her to read, never instructions to follow.
• The extension holds no passwords, for CORA or for any other system.
• CORA works in your browser only while your CORA chat is open, with you there.

How to get it

The extension is for Chrome and Edge on a computer. It is not yet listed in the Chrome Web Store or Microsoft Edge Add-ons. Until it is, CORA's team provides it and helps you install it.

Once it is installed:

1. Pin the CORA icon to the browser's toolbar.
2. Click the icon. CORA opens in the side panel. Sign in if she asks.
3. Ask CORA about the page beside her, or ask her to open a site.

When CORA says the extension is not connected

CORA can see and use your tabs only when the extension answers in the browser you chat in. When it does not, CORA says plainly that the extension is not connected, and she does not guess what your tabs show. The usual reasons:

• The extension is not installed in this browser, or it is turned off. Check the browser's extensions page: chrome://extensions in Chrome, edge://extensions in Edge.
• You are chatting somewhere the extension cannot reach: another browser, your phone or CORA's desktop app.
• The extension is an older version. Ask CORA's team for the current one.

Open CORA from the CORA icon in the toolbar, so she runs in the side panel, and ask again. If working in the browser is switched off for your workspace, or your role does not include it, CORA says that instead, and an owner or admin can change it.
