Your browser already has your logins, tabs, and sessions. Orion Browser Operator lets Orion Agent use that browser directly instead of asking you to copy passwords, export cookies, or move page content by hand. When My Browser is enabled, the agent can open pages, click, type, upload files, download results, and read the page inside your real Chrome or Edge. You can watch every step, take over when a login or captcha appears, and pause or stop the session at any time.
The Chrome Web Store version is not live yet. Until then, install the zip manually in developer mode. The zip is packaged for production and connects only to Orion agent-web.

What You Can Do

  • Use sites where you are already signed in. The agent acts through your real browser session; you do not give it third-party passwords.
  • Handle repetitive web work. Fill forms, look up information, operate dashboards, upload files, or capture downloads for the current task.
  • Work across tabs. Keep Orion open while the agent operates another task tab.
  • Stay in control. The page overlay can pause, resume, or stop; sensitive pages, email, account, and common banking hosts are blocked.

Before You Start

You need:
  • Desktop Chrome or Microsoft Edge. Mobile browsers, Safari, and in-app WebViews are not supported.
  • A signed-in Orion Agent page at https://agent.gracepeakglobal.com.

Load In Chrome

  1. Download the zip above.
  2. Unzip orion-browser-operator-v0.4.20.zip; you should get an orion-browser-operator-v0.4.20 folder.
  3. Open chrome://extensions.
  4. Enable Developer mode in the top right.
  5. Click Load unpacked.
  6. Select the unzipped orion-browser-operator-v0.4.20 folder.
Load the unzipped folder, not the zip file itself. Chrome cannot run a zipped extension as an unpacked extension.

Connect Orion

  1. Open https://agent.gracepeakglobal.com and sign in.
  2. Go to Settings → My Browser.
  3. If the extension is installed, the page discovers it and connects.
  4. If it does not connect automatically, click Connect my browser or open the extension popup and connect manually.
  5. Once My Browser is connected, enable My Browser for an agent task.
This extension uses the direct-connect path: it reads the aw_browser_extension_* connection values injected by the Orion web app, then connects directly to browser-extension HTTP / WebSocket endpoints under agent.gracepeakglobal.com.

Try Asking

Use the admin page already open in my browser, organize this batch of records, and ask me before submitting.

Orion never asks for passwords to third-party websites. The extension works only after you install it, connect it, and enable My Browser for a task. Page data, screenshots, and downloaded files are returned only as explicit browser action results for the current task.

Safety

  • The extension connects only to Orion agent-web browser-extension endpoints.
  • The production manifest allows external connections only from https://agent.gracepeakglobal.com/*.
  • Connection tokens are injected by the Orion web app with aw_browser_extension_* keys.
  • Chrome internal pages, Google account pages, Gmail, Outlook, Chrome Web Store, and common banking hosts are blocked.
  • You can pause, resume, or stop from the page overlay at any time.

Questions

Orion Cannot Find the Extension

Confirm the extension is enabled in chrome://extensions, then refresh Orion Agent. If you installed an older zip before, remove that extension, download the current zip, and load it again.

The Extension Is Installed but Not Connected

Open the extension popup, expand Advanced, and select Export diagnostics. Export works while disconnected and includes a fallback when the background worker cannot respond. Send the JSON file through your support channel with the time of the failure and your browser version. The report contains connection events, versions, and configured/current endpoints. It excludes tokens, cookies, and page content. Export before uninstalling, since uninstalling clears local records. After replacing files in an existing unpacked extension folder, use Reload on chrome://extensions; restarting the browser alone may retain the registered background script. Make sure you opened and signed in to https://agent.gracepeakglobal.com in the same Chrome profile, then reconnect from Settings → My Browser.

Why Does Chrome Say It Can Read Every Website?

You can send the agent to any website required by the task, so the extension must declare cross-site access. In practice, it acts only after you enable My Browser for the task, and sensitive pages are blocked.

Can I Take Over While It Is Working?

Yes. You can take over directly in the browser, or pause, resume, or stop the session from the overlay or Orion settings.
