Your Superagent can research, look things up, and complete tasks on the web for you. It works right away from chat. If you want it to work directly in Chrome, install the Superagent by Base44 browser extension.

Superagent in Chrome

​
Giving your Superagent a task

Ask your Superagent to research something or complete a task online, just like you would ask it anything else in chat. No setup is required. For example:
When your Superagent uses a browser to complete your task, a Live Browser view can open in the chat so you can follow along in real time. On desktop, the view opens next to your conversation. On mobile, it appears as a bar you can expand. From the Live Browser view, you can:
  • Expand the view.
  • Open it in full screen.
  • Close the view while your Superagent keeps working.
The Live Browser view closes on its own when your Superagent finishes the task.
How browsing works:
  • Your Superagent can work on websites available through the public internet, including ones you are already logged in to. It cannot reach your local network or private network addresses, such as localhost.
  • Browser actions typically use ~0.01 credits for each action and ~0.03 credits for each data extraction. Failed actions are free.
  • Credit amounts are estimates and are calculated after each action runs, so your actual cost may differ from the figures shown here.

​
Using the browser extension

The Superagent by Base44 browser extension lets your Superagent work directly in Chrome. It opens tabs, clicks, types, and reads pages on your behalf, while you watch what it is doing. Your Superagent can work with the sites you’re already signed in to while completing tasks.

​
Installing the extension

Install Superagent by Base44 from the Chrome Web Store, then log in to Base44 to connect it to your account. You can also reach the extension from Base44. Open your Superagent, click Channels in the sidebar, and click Install next to Browser extension. To install the extension:
  1. Go to the Superagent by Base44 extension in the Chrome Web Store.
  2. Click Add to Chrome.
  3. Click Continue to install.
  4. Review the permissions, then click Add extension.
  5. Open the extension.
  6. Click Log in to Base44.
  7. Select the Superagent you want to use.
Pin the extension to your Chrome toolbar for quick access.

​
Work in your browser

Ask your Superagent to complete a task in your browser, just like you would from chat. If you own 2 or more Superagents in a workspace, you can switch between them at any time from the extension’s side panel. For example:
Your Superagent opens its own Chrome tab group to complete the task, so it doesn’t interrupt the tab you’re using. You can watch each step as it works. Chrome displays its standard browser control banner while your Superagent performs actions. Once the extension is connected, you can also start a browser task from another client, such as the Base44 mobile app. Chrome needs to stay open and connected. If it is not available, your Superagent uses the cloud browser instead, without your logged-in sessions.

​
Read your WhatsApp chats

Your Superagent can go through your personal WhatsApp chats and summarize them for you, using WhatsApp Web in your browser. This is separate from the WhatsApp channel, which only covers the chat you have with your Superagent. To read your WhatsApp chats:
  1. Make sure the Superagent by Base44 extension is connected and Chrome is open.
  2. In your own chat with your Superagent, ask it to read your WhatsApp. For example:
  3. If your Superagent asks you to link WhatsApp, scan the QR code it opens in Chrome. On your phone, open WhatsApp, go to Linked devices, and tap Link a device.
What to know:
  • Your Superagent reads only the chats and time range you ask about, and only messages WhatsApp has loaded, so older history may be missing. Opening a chat can mark it as read.
  • It only sends, replies to, or forwards a message when you ask it to.
  • It works only in your own chat with your Superagent, not in group chats or scheduled workflows.
  • Anything your Superagent copies into the chat can be seen by anyone with access to that conversation.
  • To stop access, remove Base44 from Linked devices in WhatsApp on your phone.

FAQs

The extension is available for Chrome.
No. Once you are logged in to Base44, the extension pairs with your account automatically.
Chrome shows its standard browser control banner while your Superagent is performing actions, and your Superagent works in its own tab group.
Your Superagent can access any site reachable at a public internet address, including sites you are already logged in to. It cannot access private network addresses, such as localhost, private IP ranges, or hostnames like .local and .internal. Whether a site counts as private depends on its network address, not its name, so an internal site hosted on a public domain is still reachable.

If the extension is not connected, your Superagent browses from chat instead. You do not need to do anything, and it can still complete most tasks.
