  **GetSaaSWatch Assistant** helps businesses and individuals monitor SaaS and AI tool usage, reduce subscription waste, and manage shadow IT – all from your web dashboard.
  
  👉 **First, sign up or log in at [https://getsaaswatch.com](https://getsaaswatch.com). Then follow the steps below.**
  
  ---
  
  ### 🔍 What It Does
  
  - **Automatic detection** – Recognizes visits to 100+ SaaS apps (Zoom, Slack) and AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot) using only page metadata.
  - **Shadow IT governance** – Sends usage events to your GetSaaSWatch dashboard so IT teams can spot unapproved tools.
  - **Usage analytics** – Tracks how often tools are used, helping you find unused subscriptions and duplicate tools.
  - **Privacy‑first** – Only processes minimal metadata (hostname, page title, timestamps). No page content, keystrokes, or clipboard data.
  
  ---
  
  ### 🚀 How It Works
  
  1. **Go to your GetSaaSWatch web dashboard** → Navigate to **Settings → Browser extension & codes**.
  2. **Copy your Company Code** (and optional Subscription List Token if you want to sync Stripe subscriptions).
  3. **Install this extension** and paste the code/token into the fields below.
  4. **Browse normally** – the extension silently logs visits to recognized tools.
  5. **Return to your web dashboard** to see usage reports, alerts, and savings opportunities.

  ### 👥 Who Should Use
  
  - **Small business owners** – cut unused SaaS subscriptions.
  - **IT managers** – gain visibility into employee AI tool usage.
  - **Finance teams** – optimize software spend.
  
  ---
  
  ### 🔒 Permissions Justification
  
  - `storage` – Stores activation settings, a per‑install ID, and a local event queue for reliable uploads.
  - `tabs` / `webNavigation` – Reads tab URL, hostname, title, and navigation signals to detect matches with known SaaS/AI tools.
  - `host_permissions` – Required to detect tool usage across different websites. The extension only processes minimal metadata for configured domains; it does not scrape unrelated page content.

  🔒 Permissions explained
  storage – Saves your settings and a local event queue.
  
  tabs – Reads URL, hostname, and title to match against our tool catalog.
  
  alarms – Schedules periodic upload of usage events.
  
  webNavigation – Helps distinguish human vs. automated (agent) usage.
  
  host_permissions (<all_urls>) – Needed because tools live on many different domains. We only check the hostname; we never read page content.

  GetSaaSWatch Assistant helps businesses and individuals monitor SaaS and AI tool usage, reduce subscription waste, and manage shadow IT.
  
  Key Features
  
  - Automatic Detection – Detects visits to known SaaS apps (e.g., Zoom, Slack) and AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot) using minimal page metadata.
  - Shadow IT Governance – Sends usage events to your GetSaaSWatch dashboard to help IT teams maintain security and compliance.
  - Usage Analytics – Tracks how often and how recently tools are accessed to support review of unused subscriptions and duplicate tools.
  - Privacy-First – The extension only processes minimal metadata for classification (e.g., hostname, page title, and timestamps). It does not capture page content.
  
  How It Works
  
  1. Install the extension and activate it using your organization’s company code (and an optional subscription list token if provided by your admin).
  2. Browse normally – the extension silently logs recognized SaaS/AI tool visits in the background.
  3. Review reports and alerts in your GetSaaSWatch web dashboard (data is uploaded on a schedule with retry behavior).
  
  Who Should Use
  
  - Small business owners wanting to cut unused SaaS subscriptions.
  - IT managers needing visibility into employee AI tool usage.
  - Finance teams optimizing software spend.
  
  Permissions Justification
  
  - storage – Stores activation/configuration, a per-install ID, and a local event queue so uploads are reliable.
  - tabs / webNavigation – Reads tab URL/hostname/title and navigation signals to determine whether the visit matches a known SaaS/AI tool.
  - host_permissions – Required to detect tool usage across different websites. The extension only processes minimal metadata for configured SaaS/AI domains and does not scrape unrelated page content.
