ZoomMate web access
ZoomMate allows users to browse the web as a part of their ZoomMate session, either using an extension or a cloud browser. This extends ZoomMate’s capabilities to enable the ability to access and interact directly with web pages and perform actions using a browser at your direction. This allows ZoomMate to execute tasks directly on websites rather than only providing conversational assistance.
When the browser session is closed, any data that has been used or collected by ZoomMate for the user's conversation/session, including screenshots, will be saved to the user's Conversation history.
Using the Local browser access
The browser extension can access the page debugger backend, modify website data, and manage your tab groups.
The ZoomMate Browser Operator is a browser extension that can use your active sessions on your local browser. To use local browser access:
Click Connectors, then click Local browser access toggle to enable or disable it. Once enabled, Chrome users will be redirected to the Chrome Web Store.
The ZoomMate Browser Operator extension icon should appear in the Chrome extension toolbar.
Using the Cloud Browser Operator
ZoomMate Cloud Browser Operator lets ZoomMate perform the same actions as the local browser access (complete real web tasks including research, form-filling, data gathering, repetitive workflows, etc.), but within a sandbox environment for ZoomMate.
The cloud browser session may not persist. Due to this, you may need to start a new browser session even when opening a saved conversation.
Available third-party connectors for ZoomMate
ZoomMate can access your data from third-party services via Connectors.
Note:
Support as a data source requires a ZoomMate license.
Third-party data sources must be connected to use. Once connected, they remain available unless manually disconnected.
The following connectors are available for utilizing third-party applications with ZoomMate:
