Claude in Chrome

You have connected Claude to structured services such as email and calendar. Claude in Chrome extends that reach to websites: it can read the current page, navigate, click, and fill in fields with your approval. Install the verified extension, connect the same Claude account, and try it on a real research task.

The extension is official, published by Anthropic. It left beta on 26 August and works on paid Claude plans; you cannot install it on the free one. If you do not have a paid plan yet, read the step and see what the extension does: you will do the practice below once you have a plan. Nothing later in the course needs the extension, so there is no reason to stall here.

If the extension will not install, or you are not on Chrome, do not get stuck. On paid plans the Claude desktop app now has a built-in browser: it opens sites and works with them on its own, with no extension and no separate Chrome. You can do the practice below through it as well.

Go through the points

Install the extension

Open the extension page in Google Chrome itself → Claude in the Chrome Web StoreOpen the link in Chrome. In Safari or any other browser the page has no Add to Chrome button, so it looks as if the extension does not exist. The link points to the official extension published by Anthropic: searching the store by name can lead to look-alike copies. Desktop Google Chrome only. Other Chromium browsers and mobile devices are not supported.

Click Add to Chrome and confirm the installation

Signed in with the same Claude account I use in the desktop appUsing the same account ensures the extension sees the correct plan and settings.

Try it: research three hotels

Opened Claude from the extension and pasted the prompt below:

Find three highly rated hotels near Times Square in New York for two adults, from tomorrow through the following day. Show the nightly price in USD, guest rating, cancellation terms, and a source link for each option. Do not book anything.

Claude opened the relevant pages, applied the search criteria, and returned three options with sources ✓

Now give it a task of your own. The hotel was a demo, build your command from the skeleton belowSkeleton: where to go + what to find or do + how to return the result. For example: three competitors' prices in a table, stock availability at a supplier, filling in a request form.

Go to [site], find [what exactly], return the result as [a table / a list / a short summary].
