Let Claude browse sites and fill forms in a side panel
When a task involves a website, Cowork opens a built-in browser where Claude navigates, clicks and fills forms while the user watches.
- What They Did
- Claude’s Cowork mode opens a built-in browser in a side panel when a task involves a website, so the agent can fetch information from a specified site, navigate pages, click, and fill forms while the user watches. The post says this works without installing the Chrome extension, uses a browser separate from the user’s own tabs and logins, and allows optional import of saved Chrome logins.
- How It Went
- The example shown is a pricing comparison workflow that starts pulling prices from a chosen site. The post gives rollout details for paid desktop users, but no performance numbers or failure cases.
- Worth Knowing
- It is separate from your normal browser by default, and importing saved Chrome logins is opt-in.

Open [website URL] in the browser panel and [task, e.g. fill out the application form] using these details: [your details]. Narrate what you're doing so I can watch. Stop and show me everything you've entered before submitting any form, making a payment, or sending a message.
