Chrome Tool

The Chrome Tool enables the Refact.ai Agent to interact with browsers like Chrome, Chromium, and Edge. This integration allows the agent to open links and take screenshots to extract additional context for your tasks.

Functionality

Enable Toggle

  • Allows you to activate or deactivate the Chrome Tool
  • When toggled on, the tool is ready for use; toggling off disables its functionality

Delete Button

  • Permanently removes the Chrome Tool from your list of integrations
  • Use this if you no longer need the tool

Test

  • Opens a chat interface and tests whether the Chrome Tool is correctly configured
  • If successful, it confirms that the tool is ready to use

Help Me Install Chrome for Testing

  • Launches a chat to guide you through configuring the tool automatically by identifying the browser path
  • ⚠️ Note: This process doesn’t always work flawlessly — think of it as the model taking a stab at finding the path on your behalf (sometimes it hits the mark, sometimes it doesn’t)

Configuration Instructions

Find the Browser Path

The process for identifying the browser path depends on your operating system. Here are typical paths:

  • Windows: C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe
  • MacOS: /Applications/Google Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google Chrome
  • Linux: /usr/bin/google-chrome or /usr/bin/chromium

Inserting the Path

  1. Copy the full path to your browser executable
  2. Paste it into the Chrome Path field
  3. Click Apply to save the configuration

Advanced Configuration Options

Idle Browser Timeout

  • Sets the time (in seconds) the browser can remain idle before being closed automatically
  • Default: 300 seconds

Headless Mode

  • When enabled, Chrome runs in “headless” mode (no visible browser window)
  • Default: true (enabled)
