  # CopilotKiwi - AI Browser Agent for Chrome
  
  ## AI Agent help, directly inside Chrome
  
  CopilotKiwi is an AI browser agent for Chrome that lives in a side panel and works with the page you are already viewing.
  
  Instead of copying content into a separate AI tool, you can chat with the current page, ask questions about what is on screen, extract useful information, and run browser actions using natural language.
  
  CopilotKiwi is built to feel like a real browser operator, not just a page summariser.
  
  ## What CopilotKiwi can do
  
  CopilotKiwi goes well beyond simple page chat.
  
  **Multi-step browser workflows**
  
  Give CopilotKiwi a goal in plain English and it can work step by step, refresh page context after each move, and continue the task on the updated page.
  
  **Multi-tab research**
  
  CopilotKiwi can open and inspect multiple pages, keep working memory per tab, compare options, and produce a final answer with evidence.
  
  **Cross-page extraction pipelines**
  
  CopilotKiwi can work through listing pages, directories, and result pages, extract structured records, and generate downloadable CSV files.
  
  **CSV export**
  
  When extraction tasks finish, CopilotKiwi can generate a CSV file and provide direct access to the downloaded file from the chat.
  
  **Chat history**
  
  Multiple chat threads are saved locally so users can return to recent work, start a fresh chat at any time, and keep ongoing tasks organised.
  
  **Chat with the current web page**
  
  CopilotKiwi stays inside a Chrome side panel so users can work with the current page without switching to a separate AI tool.
  
  **Summarise web pages**
  
  CopilotKiwi can summarise articles, product pages, directories, search results, and other page types using the live page as context.
  
  **Extract key details**
  
  CopilotKiwi can pull useful information from what is on screen, helping users capture the important facts faster.
  
  **Answer follow-up questions**
  
  Users can ask follow-up questions about the live page and get responses based on what CopilotKiwi can see in the current context.
  
  **Help with writing and research**
  
  CopilotKiwi can support drafting, note taking, explanation, and research tasks using the current page as working context.
  
  **Perform browser actions**
  
  CopilotKiwi can interpret natural-language instructions and perform supported browser actions directly on the active page.
  
  **Manual review or auto-run**
  
  Users can review suggested actions manually before running them, or let CopilotKiwi auto-run supported actions when preferred.
  
  ## Browser action capabilities
  
  CopilotKiwi can perform supported browser actions such as:
  
  - Clicking elements
  - Focusing fields and controls
  - Filling inputs and textareas
  - Choosing select options
  - Toggling checkboxes and radio inputs
  - Submitting forms
  - Opening links
  - Navigating directly to pages
  - Scrolling through the page
  
  It can chain these actions together into multi-step flows on supported pages, helping users move through tasks faster without doing each step manually.
  
  ## Useful built-in controls
  
  - Quick actions for page summary, key detail extraction, research, and drafting
  - Refresh page context on demand
  - Context stats for captured text, links, action targets, and form fields
  - Busy-state protection to stop overlapping requests
  - Activity indicators that show when CopilotKiwi is thinking or performing actions
  - Manual review mode for suggested browser actions
  
  ## Bring your own OpenAI API key
  
  CopilotKiwi uses a bring-your-own-key model.
  
  Users connect their own OpenAI API key and choose their own model, which keeps usage and billing under the user’s own OpenAI account.
  
  The extension itself does not require a separate CopilotKiwi-hosted backend to run normal workflows. Everything is handled locally on your device.
  
  ## Local-first and privacy-focused
  
  CopilotKiwi is designed around a local-first structure.
  
  - API key and selected model are stored locally in Chrome extension storage
  - Chat history, research sessions, and extraction sessions are stored locally on the device
  - The extension does not route page context through CopilotKiwi-owned servers for normal operation
  - When a user sends a request, relevant prompt and page context go directly to OpenAI using the user’s own API key
  
  ## Good fit for
  
  - Researching and comparing options across multiple pages
  - Extracting structured information from directories and listings
  - Data scraping automation
  - Summarising long or complex web pages
  - Asking questions about what is currently on screen
  - Drafting notes or content using page context
  - Speeding up repetitive browser tasks
  
  ## How to use
  
  1. Install CopilotKiwi in Chrome
  2. Open the side panel
  3. Add your OpenAI API key and choose a model (can use default model)
  4. Open any supported web page
  5. Ask CopilotKiwi to summarise, extract, research, compare, or perform a browser task
  
  ## CopilotKiwi helps users
  
  - Understand pages faster
  - Extract useful details without manual copy and paste
  - Automate repetitive browser work
  - Run more advanced research workflows directly inside Chrome
