Live browsing & secure sign-in
AI Live Browser & MyTabulon Secure Browser
The AI Live Browser lets you and Maximo drive, inspect, and automate the web together without interrupting the chat stream. Use isolated cloud Chromium for normal browser work, or install MyTabulon Secure Browser when a site needs a real user-owned Chrome profile and same-tab authentication.
- Ask Maximo to open a website, check a URL, or perform web research to launch the live browser panel.
- Secure Browser mode is generic across normal HTTP(S) websites. It does not contain special-case logic for Google, X, or any other login provider.
- Install it from /browser-extension: download the ZIP, double-click it in Finder to unzip it, open chrome://extensions, enable Developer mode, click Load unpacked, and select the extracted folder containing manifest.json. Chrome intentionally greys out ZIP files because Load unpacked accepts folders only.
- Version 1.0.4 uses the official teal MyTabulon SVG in its popup and setup page, with rounded Chrome-compatible PNG exports on the extension card and toolbar.
- Secure sign-in handoff: choose You before entering a password or verification code. Maximo detaches and Chrome focuses the real tab. After sign-in, return to MyTabulon and choose AI; Maximo resumes in that exact authenticated tab.
- Passwords, verification codes, and Chrome cookies are never sent to Maximo. The user-owned Chrome profile remains the source of the authenticated session.
- Cloud Security & Isolation: Each team member's cloud browser has a private Chromium process and browser profile. Saved logins and local caches are not shared with other workspace users.
- Smooth Streaming: The panel mounts while navigation is still running, shows a wide readable preparing state, and replays the latest Chrome frame instead of leaving a blank canvas. Desktop Secure Browser preserves the real tab viewport and captures fallback frames around actions instead of continuously, preventing the tab from shaking. Opening or resizing it does not clear partial answers, reasoning, tool events, or the active stream. The live-browser activity pill belongs only to the originating chat and does not carry into another session.
- Chrome profile ownership: Secure Browser is paired to the originating chat and Chrome profile. Only the focused MyTabulon tab can claim its profile; other profiles and background chats stay idle. If the same chat is focused in another profile, the old profile detaches immediately instead of reconnecting or leaving a debugging banner behind.
- Desktop Resizing: Drag the divider between chat and browser to choose the width. Mobile retains its dedicated responsive layout.
- Device support: the user-owned Secure Browser handoff requires desktop Chrome on a computer because mobile Chrome cannot load this extension or provide the debugger handoff. Mobile users can still use the separate cloud live browser.
- Persistent Login Sessions: Browser cookies and local storage states are encrypted and backed up individually to cloud storage, allowing your logins to survive browser restarts and container updates.
- Multi-tab Control: The AI can naturally open new tabs, switch active focus between tabs, list open tabs, and close tabs, keeping complex web sessions organized.
- Advanced Interactions: The AI can scroll, type text, press keyboard shortcuts, click elements by coordinates, and select specific values/texts from dropdown menu elements.
- File Uploads: The AI can select file inputs and upload files directly from your workspace directory to online portals.
- Console & Network Diagnostics: The AI can retrieve recent console logs and network transaction logs to troubleshoot errors and check backend API responses.
