Capture any webpage, ask questions with full codebase context, and manage your workflow — all without leaving the page you're on. ## What Is the Chrome Extension? The PlayerZero Chrome Extension puts the **AI Player** right inside your browser. Instead of switching tabs to start an investigation, you can capture the page you're looking at, ask a question, or kick off a workflow stage — all from a lightweight side panel that lives alongside the page you're working on. It's designed for anyone who triages issues, reviews customer-facing pages, or investigates bugs and wants to get AI-powered answers without breaking their flow. Chrome Extension side panel open alongside a webpage with floating toolbar visible *** ## Capturing Page Context The extension includes a **floating toolbar** that appears on any webpage when the side panel is open. It lets you capture page content to give the AI Player rich context about what you're looking at. * **What it does:** Captures the entire webpage and sends it to the AI Player as context. * **How to use:** Click the **full page icon** (page with a plus) on the floating toolbar. * **Best for:** Giving the AI a complete picture of the page — layout, content, error messages, and all. * **What it does:** Lets you select a specific element on the page to capture, rather than the whole thing. * **How to use:** Click the **element selector icon** (dashed box with cursor) on the toolbar. An orange border appears around the page and your cursor changes to a selector. Hover over the element you want and click to select it. * **Best for:** Focusing the AI on a specific component, error message, form, or section of the page. * **To exit:** Press **Escape** at any time to leave selection mode. * You can capture **multiple elements or pages** before submitting your question. * Each captured context appears as a card in the side panel showing the page URL, type, and size. Click the **eye icon** to preview the captured content, or click the **X** to remove it. * All attached contexts are converted to a readable format and included when you start the AI Player. * There is a cumulative size limit for attached contexts. If your captures exceed the limit, the extension displays a warning on the affected card and automatically trims content when you submit. Remove captures you don't need to stay within the limit. *** ## Asking the AI Player Once you've optionally captured page context, you can start a Channel directly from the side panel. * **What it does:** Submit a free-form question to the AI Player, optionally with page context attached. * **How to use:** Type your question in the text box and press **Submit**. The AI creates a new channel using your question and any attached page context. * **Best for:** Quick investigations, understanding what a page does, or asking why a specific error is showing. * **What it does:** Start a structured workflow stage instead of a free-form question. * **How to use:** Select an **Entry stage** from the dropdown above the text box, then submit. You can optionally include a question or page context. * **Best for:** Repeatable processes like bug triage, code review prep, or customer issue investigation. * **What it does:** One-click workflow launch that automatically captures the current page as context. * **How to use:** Click any **Quick Start button** below the input area. The extension captures the current page and immediately starts the selected workflow stage. * **Best for:** When you want to jump straight into a workflow with the current page as context — no typing required. * **What it does:** Deploys multiple specialist agents that work in parallel and cross-check each other's findings for higher-accuracy results. * **How to use:** Toggle the **Hive** switch before submitting your question. * **Best for:** Complex investigations, debugging, root cause analysis, and questions that span multiple systems or require multiple perspectives. * **Learn more:** [Hive Mode](/features/hive-mode) *** ## Managing Your Backlog The side panel includes a **backlog view** so you can track all your active PlayerZero threads without leaving the browser. Chrome Extension backlog view showing Workflow and Asked tabs with thread list * Shows your most recent **Ask mode** Player threads. * Click any item to open the full Player thread in the PlayerZero web app. * Shows **Workflow Threads** grouped into three categories: * **Needs Input** — Threads waiting for your response or action * **In Progress** — Threads currently running * **Done** — Completed Threads * Use the **"Started on this page"** filter to see only Threads you launched from the current webpage. * The extension icon shows an **orange badge** with the number of Threads that need your input. * The badge updates automatically every 30 seconds so you always know when something needs attention. * Open the side panel and check the **Needs Input** section to see what's waiting for you. *** ## Get Started 👉 [Setup guide](/developer-guide/configuration-guides/extensions/chrome) 👉 [AI Player overview](/features/ai-player) 👉 [Jump to the app](https://playerzero.ai)
