Chrome extension
Automate actions on logged-in websites with the CodeWords Chrome Extension.
Introduction
The CodeWords Chrome extension automates tasks on websites where you're already logged in. It runs directly in your browser, using your existing sessions to access private content like LinkedIn feeds, dashboards, and member-only pages.
Key limitations
Runs have a 5-minute timeout limit.
The Chrome Extension works on desktop or laptop only, and it is not supported on mobile.
There are no visual indicators of run status.
Outputs return in Markdown by default, not HTML.
When to use the Chrome extension
Perfect for:
Getting content from private pages (LinkedIn feeds, dashboards)
Simple website tasks like clicking buttons or filling forms
When reliability is more important than speed
Not ideal for:
Scheduled automations when you're away
When you need to use your browser simultaneously
When speed is critical
Getting started
Open Settings → Browser Control and click Install & Connect, or install from the Chrome Web Store.
Wait until Browser Control shows Connected.
Sign in to the websites you want to automate in that browser.
