Getting started
Install the Chrome extension, sign in and run a first task.
What is an AI browser assistant?An AI browser assistant is software that runs inside your browser, can read the page you are currently viewing, and can carry out requested tasks either through connected app APIs or through the website interface itself.Install resolvenengine and run your first taskSetup takes four steps: install the Chrome extension, sign in with Google, add your own AI API key, then connect one service and run a read-only task before you allow anything to write.
Connectors
Connect Gmail, Drive, Calendar, Notion, Slack, ClickUp, GitHub, GA4 and Search Console.
How connectors work, and when the browser is used insteadA connector performs a structured operation against a service API through the backend, while a browser action works through the website interface; resolvenengine chooses the connector when your request is about your own data in a connected service, and the browser when the task is about the page in front of you or open research.Connect Gmail, Drive and Calendar safelyGoogle sign-in only identifies your resolvenengine account; each Google service you want the assistant to use (Gmail, Drive or Calendar) is a separate authorization you review, limit and can revoke independently.Add a custom connector or a remote MCP serverBeyond the released integrations you can register your own connector: an HTTPS service described by OpenAPI 3, or a remote MCP server, with credentials stored encrypted and bound to your account.
Browser actions
How the assistant works in your current tab, tab groups and forms.
Working in your current tab, not a random new oneBy default the assistant works in the tab you are actively using; it only opens its own tabs when a task genuinely needs them, and those tabs are collected into a visible ResolvEngine tab group you can watch or close.Attach files: CSV, spreadsheets, PDFs and imagesYou can attach up to ten files to a message; tables from CSV and XLSX, text from TXT, JSON and Markdown, and PDFs open in a full-panel viewer, and the same viewer works for files the assistant produces.Research the web without opening unnecessary tabsResearch requests use background search first, while visible tabs are reserved for pages that require interaction, a logged-in session, or visual inspection.Capture and read a complete webpageresolvenengine can capture a webpage from top to bottom as one long image for you, while retaining the original page sections so the model can read small details.A Chrome extension that fills forms automatically, and checks its own workresolvenengine is a Chrome side-panel assistant that fills web forms in the tab you are using from a plain-language request, then reads the live fields back to verify them and leaves consequential submission to you.Summarize any webpage in Chrome, including the parts you have to scroll toresolvenengine summarizes the webpage in your current Chrome tab from the side panel, and when the information is only visible on screen it can capture the whole page from top to bottom so nothing below the fold is missed.
Permissions and privacy
Allow, Ask and Deny policies, approval tickets and revoking access.
Models and cost
Bring your own AI key, choose a model and keep spend predictable.
Workflows
Repeatable, verified workflows for research, reporting and inbox work.
A research workflow that ends with sourcesA research run in resolvenengine happens in visible, grouped tabs, skips pages that add nothing new, and finishes with a source block, so every claim can be traced back to the page it came from.Inbox and calendar triage in one conversationA morning routine can read unread Gmail, the day's Calendar events and the related Drive files in one conversation, returning a referenced summary, without any ability to send mail on your behalf.Search Console and GA4 reporting without spreadsheetsresolvenengine reads authorised GA4 and Search Console properties read-only and reports on complete days, always stating that Search Console data commonly lags 2–3 days and GA4 standard reports settle over roughly 24–48 hours.Coordinate GitHub, Notion and Slack from one conversationresolvenengine can read and coordinate work across GitHub, Notion and Slack, while writes remain tied to explicit intent and each operation's Allow, Ask or Deny policy.Gmail to Notion automation without building a ZapWith Gmail and Notion connected, resolvenengine can search your inbox, summarize the relevant messages and create a Notion page or append text to one you shared, with each write governed by your Allow, Ask or Deny policy.
