What is AI Browser Control?

AI Browser Control is a browser extension that allows Ask AI to operate your web browser autonomously. Instead of providing instructions for manual steps, Ask AI performs tasks directly—navigating pages, clicking buttons, filling forms, and reading content—all within a secure, isolated environment.

The extension supports Chrome-based browsers including Chrome, Edge, and Brave. It connects seamlessly with your Ask AI assistant in both text and voice conversations, transforming natural language requests into executed browser actions.

All automation runs in a dedicated tab group that remains completely separate from your personal browsing tabs, ensuring your existing sessions and data remain untouched.

Key Benefits

AI Browser Control transforms how you interact with web-based tasks, providing hands-free automation with built-in transparency and security.

Hands-Free Task Completion — Ask AI executes multi-step workflows without manual intervention, from simple page navigation to complex form submissions.

Visual Interaction — The AI reads pages through screenshots and interacts using coordinate-based actions with an animated cursor, mimicking human browsing behavior.

Full Navigation Control — Opens, navigates, reloads, switches between tabs, and closes pages automatically, with each action returning a fresh screenshot for verification.

Comprehensive Page Reading — Captures page text, console logs, and network requests to understand outcomes and adjust actions accordingly.

Works Everywhere — Functions identically in text chat conversations and voice interactions, providing consistent automation across input methods.

Live Activity Preview — Every step's screenshot appears in a preview panel, allowing you to watch the AI work in real-time.

How Browser Control Works

The extension operates through a sophisticated coordinate-based interaction system that reads and acts on web pages like a human user.

Visual Page Analysis

Screenshot-Based Understanding

Ask AI takes screenshots of web pages and analyzes them to identify clickable elements, form fields, buttons, and navigation options—understanding the page layout like a human would.

Batched Actions

Coordinated Interactions

The AI executes batched actions including clicking coordinates, typing text, scrolling, dragging elements, and sending keyboard commands. An animated cursor shows exactly where the AI is interacting.

Automated Navigation

Complete Tab Control

The extension handles all browser navigation: opening new pages, using back and forward buttons, reloading pages, switching between tabs, and closing completed tasks. Each navigation action automatically captures a fresh screenshot.

Outcome Verification

Multi-Layer Page Reading

Ask AI reads page text, monitors browser console logs, and tracks network requests to verify that actions completed successfully and determine next steps in complex workflows.

How It's Triggered

Browser Control works identically whether you're typing in text chat or speaking in a voice conversation. Simply describe the task you want completed, and Ask AI determines when browser automation is needed.

Security & Privacy

The Browser Control extension implements multiple layers of security to protect your data, credentials, and browsing privacy while automating tasks.

Tab Isolation

Hard Separation from Your Browsing

All automation runs in a managed session tab group completely separate from your personal tabs. The AI cannot see, access, or interact with any of your existing browser tabs, windows, or sessions.

Secure Form Fill

Local-Only Credential Handling

When forms require credentials, payment information, or personal data, the extension prompts you locally on your device. Values are filled directly in the browser and never transmitted to the backend or exposed to the AI model.

Authentication Without Re-Login

Seamless Verification

The extension authenticates using your already-logged-in HighLevel session and verifies with the backend before executing any commands—no second login or separate credential management required.

On-Demand Connections

Minimal Network Exposure

The socket connection opens only when a browser task is actively running and closes immediately after completion. If a connection drops mid-task, automatic recovery mechanisms restore the session without data loss.

Privacy First Design

Your browsing data, personal tabs, and sensitive credentials remain on your device. The AI receives only the information necessary to complete the specific task you requested.

Automation Made Simple

Step 2

Open HighLevel in Your Browser

Navigate to your HighLevel account and ensure you're logged in. The extension uses your active session to authenticate automatically without requiring separate credentials.

Step 3

Connect the Extension

Click the Browser Control extension icon in your browser toolbar. A popup will display the connection status. If you're logged into HighLevel, the status will show Connected to the page.

Step 4

Request Browser Tasks from Ask AI

Open Ask AI in text chat or start a voice conversation. Describe the task you want completed. For example: "Create a new event site for my upcoming webinar" or "Fill out the hosting sign-up form for me."

Ask AI will recognize when browser automation is needed and begin executing steps automatically.

Step 5

Monitor Progress in Real-Time

As Ask AI works, screenshots of each step appear in the chat preview panel. You can watch the AI navigate pages, click elements, and fill forms. The animated cursor shows exactly where the AI is interacting on each page.

Note

The extension only opens connections when actively running a task. Once the task completes, the connection closes automatically to minimize network exposure and browser resource usage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Which browsers are supported by AI Browser Control?

The Browser Control extension supports all Chromium-based browsers including Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and Brave. It does not currently support Firefox or Safari.

Q: Can Ask AI access my personal browsing tabs?

No. Browser Control operates exclusively in a managed session tab group isolated from your personal tabs. The AI cannot see, access, or interact with any tabs outside this dedicated automation environment.

Q: How does the extension handle sensitive data like passwords and payment information?

When Ask AI encounters forms requiring credentials or payment details, the extension displays a secure prompt on your device. You enter the information locally, and it's filled directly into the form without ever being transmitted to the backend or exposed to the AI model. These values remain on your device only.

Q: Does Browser Control work with voice conversations?

Yes. Browser Control functions identically in both text chat and voice conversations with Ask AI. Simply describe your task verbally, and the AI will determine when browser automation is appropriate and execute the steps automatically.

Q: What happens if my internet connection drops during a browser task?

The extension includes automatic recovery mechanisms. If the connection drops mid-task, it will attempt to restore the session and resume from the last completed step. If recovery fails, Ask AI will notify you and you can restart the task from the beginning.

Q: Can I see what Ask AI is doing while it operates the browser?

Yes. Every action generates a screenshot that appears in the chat preview panel. You can watch in real-time as Ask AI navigates pages, clicks elements, and fills forms. An animated cursor shows precisely where the AI is interacting on each page.

Q: Do I need to keep the Browser Control extension icon visible in my toolbar?

The extension works whether the icon is pinned to your toolbar or hidden in the extensions menu. However, keeping it visible makes it easier to quickly check connection status and verify that the extension is active when needed.

Q: Will the extension slow down my browser when I'm not using it?

No. The Browser Control extension only opens connections and consumes resources when actively running a task requested through Ask AI. Once the task completes, the connection closes and the extension returns to an idle state with minimal resource usage.
