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

note icon
The browser extension can access the page debugger backend, modify website data, and manage your tab groups.
