ChatGPT Chrome extension gains ability to view open tabs

Summarised from The Verge's report · Updated 16 Oct, 03:08 · Archive

OpenAI has upgraded its ChatGPT Chrome extension to allow the chatbot to view and interact with your open browser tabs. When the extension is installed, users can tag Chrome in ChatGPT's web or desktop app, and the tool can then access and work with those tabs. OpenAI has demonstrated the feature with examples including comparing multiple open tabs to help with purchasing decisions and extracting vendor information for comparison sheets.

The upgraded extension also enhances ChatGPT in the browser sidebar, offering the full power of ChatGPT and access to your entire conversation history without leaving the page you are viewing. ChatGPT Work can now 'control' Chrome tabs to perform tasks such as sending messages, filling out forms and downloading files. This functionality is similar to Google's Gemini-powered 'auto browse' feature and also allows users to organise or group open tabs.
