Vellum Assistant is a Chrome extension that seamlessly integrates with the Vellum AI assistant, allowing for enhanced interaction with web pages. By utilizing Chrome's DevTools Protocol, the extension enables the assistant to observe page content, navigate, click on elements, fill out forms, and extract relevant information directly from the browser. The setup process is straightforward, requiring the installation of the Vellum desktop app and a simple connection through the extension popup.

Key features include one-click connectivity, support for both self-hosted and cloud-managed assistants, and the ability to switch between multiple assistants. The extension ensures user privacy by not modifying web pages or collecting browsing data. With functionalities like auto-reconnect on disconnects and the ability to pause/resume sessions without credential loss, Vellum Assistant provides a robust tool for users looking to leverage AI while browsing.
