Claude in Chrome
42 published cases mention this tool.
Claude in Chrome is Anthropic's browser extension, working inside your logged-in Chrome, with 42 cases. Typical jobs: shortlisting business-trip hotels into a Google Sheet, updating 400 ERP transaction records in the browser, building Google Ads campaigns through the web UI. Limits: it depends on each site's UI structure, so a redesign breaks the flow; complex tasks take 30 minutes to 2 hours; and a paid Claude plan is required.
