01 / What it was

We tried a community-built browser extension that opens the agent in a side panel next to the page you're on, with the current tab as context.

It wasn't ours. We installed it to see how the agent felt when it lived beside the web page instead of in its own window.

02 / How it worked

  • A side panel in the browser connected to our local agent.
  • The active tab sent as context, other tabs left out unless included.

03 / What we saw

Handy next to a single page, but one more place to look. It didn't help with the bigger picture of a whole team.

04 / Where it led

Web pages belong next to the agent, not the other way round. Later, web pages went on the walls of the world.
