Credentials. The agent works inside a Chrome profile where you are already logged in, and your API key is stored in chrome.storage.local, so use a key with limited scope.
Who it is forAn analyst or operations person who needs a table from a web app they are already signed into and has no export button for.
The problemCopying data by hand from a logged-in web page into a spreadsheet is slow and error-prone.
The outcomeAn editable sheet artifact kept in the session, built from the data you selected on the page.
What you need first
- Chrome 135 or newer
- An OpenAI-compatible API key to paste into the side panel (BYOK)
- Developer mode enabled on chrome://extensions
- A clone of the repo or a Release zip download
Steps
- Clone the repo or download a Release zip and unzip it.
- In Chrome, open chrome://extensions, turn on Developer mode, click Load unpacked, and select the folder that contains manifest.json.
- Open the side panel, paste your OpenAI-compatible API key, and open a normal http(s) page with the data.
- Select the table or fields on the page, describe the sheet you want, and send the task.
- Check the sheet artifact against the page before you use it.
Prompt for your agent
Using the Paw Work extension in the PawWork repo, load the unpacked extension, select the data on <target page URL> in the side panel, and ask for an editable sheet artifact with the selected fields. Verify that the row count in the sheet matches the rows visible on the page.
Caveat. The README links Release downloads to Player-YN/PawWork_ZhuaZhua while this repo is listed as Browser Kitten, so confirm you are loading the intended build.
