OpenClaw Extension

About

OpenClaw Extension is a powerful, community-built AI browser copilot that integrates your local or remote AI assistant directly into Chrome's side panel. Chat with your AI while you browse — no tab-switching, no copy-pasting, no friction. Whether you run MoltBot, ClawdBot, or any OpenClaw-compatible gateway, OpenClaw Extension connects to it instantly and supercharges your browsing experience with features the official client doesn't offer.

Key Features:

• Side Panel Chat — Talk to your AI right alongside any webpage, without leaving your browser.

• Page Context Injection — Automatically attaches the current page's title, headings, and content to every message so your AI always knows what you're looking at.

• Session History — Full conversation history saved locally. Search, rename, export to Markdown, or delete sessions anytime.

• Multi-Gateway Profiles — Add multiple AI gateway URLs (local or remote, ws:// or wss://). Switch between them with one click and test each independently.

• Prompt Templates — Built-in /summarize, /explain, /fix, and /translate shortcuts. Add your own custom templates from Settings.

• Right-Click to Ask — Highlight any text on any page, right-click, and send it directly to your AI with full context.

• Screenshot Capture — Attach a screenshot of the current tab to your message with a single button click.

• CDP Dashboard — Real-time Chrome DevTools Protocol event log showing which tabs are attached, session IDs, and gateway status.

• Multi-Tab Orchestration — Attach your AI to multiple browser tabs simultaneously and manage them from the dashboard.

• Desktop Notifications — Get notified when your AI responds, even when the side panel is minimised. Toggleable in Settings.

• Auto Gateway Detection — Automatically probes common ports and URL paths to find your gateway. No manual configuration needed in most cases.

• Port Scanner — Built-in diagnostics tool that scans common OpenClaw ports and shows you exactly which one is live.
