Speed up everyday tasks with Claude in Chrome
Pull metrics from analytics dashboards
Claude can navigate your analytics dashboard, extract the numbers you need, and compile them into a summary. No exports, no tab-switching, no manual copying.
Organize files in Google Drive
Claude can sort through your Drive, create a folder structure, move files where they belong, and flag duplicates and old files for you to review. You approve the changes instead of doing the sorting yourself.
Prepare and plan from your calendar
Claude can read your calendar, pull context from email threads, flag which meetings you need to prepare for, and book rooms if they’re missing. Run it every evening and start each day knowing what's coming.
Research competitors, get a comparison deck
Claude in Chrome visits competitor sites and pulls pricing, features, and positioning. Claude Cowork compiles everything into a formatted PowerPoint ready for your next strategy meeting.
Log sales calls to your CRM
Claude can read your calendar, match attendees to Salesforce contacts, and draft activity logs for each call. You add notes and approve before anything gets created.
Clean up promotional emails
Claude can scan through your inbox, identify marketing emails, newsletters, and automated notifications, then present them as a list for you to review before deleting in bulk.
Core capabilities
Reach the web that has no API
Access internal tools, legacy portals, admin consoles, and invoice systems. Claude works with the logins you have, on the tab in front of you. Drag more tabs into Claude’s tab group and Claude works across all of them.
Your whole setup, in the side panel
The side panel now runs a full Claude Cowork session. The skills, plugins, and connectors you've already built are there, with nothing to set up in the browser.
Your session follows you
Every conversation saves to your history. Sessions live with your account, not the machine, so you can start in Chrome and pick it up on desktop or mobile without needing to re-explain. A skill you save in the panel runs from any surface too.
Three ways to access the extension
Access Claude in Chrome through the side panel when the work is on the page in front of you and nothing else needs to be open, in Claude Cowork when the browser is one step in a longer job, or in Claude Code when you’re building the site you’re testing.
Stay in control
Hidden instructions on a page can try to redirect Claude’s actions. Though Claude in Chrome has built-in defenses that have been tested against real attacks, we recommend the habits below as a best practice.
What we built
Automatically approve actions with guardrails
If you choose to, Claude can work through a task without asking you to approve each step. Before it acts on a page, a separate safety check reviews the action for risk and for instructions hidden by the site. It will surface to you if anything seems off.
Give permissions, site by site
If you prefer more control, switch to Permissions Mode. You grant access one site at a time. Claude can't reach anything you haven't approved.
Claude stops before taking sensitive actions
Purchases, financial actions, and other one-way doors wait for you.
Admins decide for the organization
On Team and Enterprise, admins turn the extension on or off org-wide and set site allowlists and blocklists.
What we recommend
Don’t use on sensitive workflows
Skip banking, health records, and anything with credentials you wouldn't share. Start with workflows you already know well.
Review Claude prompts
Claude asks before financial, personal, or work-critical actions. Review its prompts carefully.
Watch for unusual behavior
Some sites hide instructions that override yours. Our classifiers provide a defense, but if Claude acts unexpectedly, pause and review.
Tell us when something looks wrong
Report issues through the feedback options. It’s how we catch attacks we haven’t seen.
