Chrome Extension

The Syntic Code Chrome extension brings Amara into your browser so the agent can see and reason about the page you are viewing. It is built for the parts of software work that happen on the web: reproducing a bug from a live app, reading API documentation, checking a deployed change, or pulling structured data out of an internal dashboard. The extension pairs the page context with a syntic session so the agent can act on what it sees.

Installing the extension

Install the extension from the Chrome Web Store, then sign in with the same Syntic AI account you use for the CLI. After signing in, the extension icon opens a side panel where you can chat with Amara about the current tab. The panel connects to a local syntic session when one is available, so browser context and terminal context stay in sync.

# Allow the extension to attach to local sessions
syntic config set extensions.chrome.enabled true

What the extension can do

With your permission, the extension gives Amara read access to the active tab’s content, letting it summarize a page, extract information, or explain unfamiliar UI. It can also help you draft selectors, walk through a reproduction, or capture a snippet of the DOM to feed into a session. Because it shares context with the CLI, you can start a question in the browser and continue the work in your terminal against your actual codebase.

Permissions and privacy

The extension reads page content only when you open the panel and only for the tab you are on; it does not run in the background across every site. You control which sites it may access through Chrome’s standard extension permissions, and you can restrict it to specific origins. No page data leaves your machine except what is sent to api.syntic.ai to answer your request. Review the permission prompt on install and grant access narrowly for sensitive internal tools.
