So we have a brand new update from Codex and Codex has released a new powerful update inside Chrome so that it can control your browser. This is a brand new browser AI agent that is super powerful. I actually tested it out and I thought ah maybe it'd be okay. No, like it actually it works really well.
It's very fast. It's probably the best browser use agent I've seen so far. The way that you can get access is number one you need to have Codex downloaded and I'll show you a quick example of how this works before we get into that. So for example here if we like okay go to google.com and we'll just open up a new tab here just as an example right.
So if we like go to google.com all right so it's looking at Chrome here it's connecting to Chrome using the browser use AI agent. It's then going to navigate via our browser. You can see it's typing the text over here. So this is the AI agent browsing.
It's not me. I'm not doing anything here and then it navigates to google pretty quickly right and so you can use this powerful browser use automation and there's multiple ways. I'm going to show you exactly how to do this in a second but it's pretty powerful stuff. So how do you actually do it?
How do you use it? etc. All right so let me show an example. So first thing you need to do is download Codex.
If you don't have Codex already you can go to openai.com and then Codex right and this is one of my favorite like AI super apps right now. It can automate pretty much everything. We've built all sorts of tools. We've automated emails.
We've built landing pages with it. We've created all sorts of crazy stuff but one of the best things that you can do with this is the new browser use agents right. So what you want to do is you want to go to plugins here and then you're going to get Chrome right. So you go to plugins and then Chrome.
Now if you've already got Codex installed you need to make sure that you update it right. So make sure you update Codex before you try this. Then go to plugins. You'll see Chrome over here and this can do all sorts of crazy stuff as you can see right here.
It's actually a skill which allows it to use Chrome right. So you can see here that it's got a full skill where basically whenever I mention Chrome it will use that browser use agent as you can see right here. Now the other thing that you need to do is make sure you have this enabled. So you can see here for example we've got Chrome and Codex connected.
When you actually go to the plugin inside Codex it will set that up for you and then you can see all the skills here and how it's working right. And so it has like a full markdown file, very in-depth guide explaining to AI agents exactly how to use this powerful tool. So let me show you an example of how this works. So if we went to a new chat here.
Just as an example go to chat gpt and create an image of a cat right. Just random example we'll show you how to do this right. And I'm actually going to say go to Chrome, go to chat gpt there we go. And that's basically how you can get it to go over to Chrome for you.
I actually hit my usage limit so I can't show you directly but that is how you use it. And I think that's because it's just launched on the first day and so that has not happened to me today at all. But you can see an example of how it works right here right. So I literally I cannot use it I've hit my limit for the day which is pretty crazy but I think that's just because it's rolled out today.
I've seen the same thing for example with gpt 5.5. The first day gpt 5.5 came out hit the usage limit pretty quickly so I'm sure that'll be fine by tomorrow. But you can see here for example what it would do is you give it a task here and then it will look at chrome it will take a screenshot as you can see it will use its connection then it will start you can type in press keys etc. You can type text as you can see and then it can take the screenshot here.
So that's basically how it works. It's pretty powerful really easy to use. I'm amazed by how that's hit the usage limit already but I think that's simply because it is the first day it's launched. And then it can work in parallel across tabs in the background right so this is pretty cool.
So you can actually work in multiple tabs across the background you don't just have to use it inside one single tab which is pretty amazing. So you can say okay use a background tab it can move through repetitive browser work so basically if you've got work where you're just clicking buttons that's not useful. So you can see here for example you can tell it to check your emails the five relevant documents even like for example update something based on local files because codex is connected locally and then it can go off and do that right. And you can also tag in multiple tools so this is pretty cool because you could say okay use this tab for creating a game or a tool or an app and it will actually use that as reference data as context.
And so it's really for a lot of it's for coding but also for like work as well. Anything honestly like I don't know about you but we've got admins in our team who just click buttons fill spreadsheets in and stuff like that you can use this AI agent directly for stuff like that so it's pretty powerful. So I can't really show you much more because as you've seen we've hit the usage limit but you get the point.
