Big one today: Dex can now act directly inside your browser. We're calling them browser agents. It requires new browser permissions, so Dex won't work until you update.
How to update
Option 1: Update from Chrome Extensions.
- Go to
chrome://extensions - Turn on Developer mode (top right)
- Click Update (top left)
- Toggle Dex back on (Chrome disables extensions that request new permissions)
Option 2: Reinstall from the Chrome Web Store. If you don't see Dex in
Chrome may have already updated your extension, but you might need to re-enable it. If Dex isn't responding after an update, go to the Chrome Web Store page, remove it, and re-add it to grant the new permissions.
After that, Dex should be back in your sidebar.
chrome://extensions, go to the Dex page on the Chrome Web Store, remove the extension, and add it back.What are browser agents?
Browser agents let Dex interact with web pages the way you do: clicking, typing, navigating. Instead of being limited to its own tools and APIs, Dex can now work inside the apps you already use.- Work across any site. Dex can navigate and take action on any page you have open.
- Fill out forms. Type into fields, select options, submit forms.
- Handle multi-step tasks. Workflows that span several tabs and sites run end to end.
