Chrome Use brings ChatGPT into signed-in browsers

Chrome Use brings ChatGPT’s computer-use capabilities into a user’s regular Chrome profile, allowing it to read pages, switch tabs, interact with controls, and complete authenticated workflows such as Workday PTO requests. The feature turns ChatGPT from a browser assistant into an agent that can operate within existing workplace tools.

// ANALYSIS

Hot take: authenticated browser automation is where AI agents become genuinely useful—and genuinely risky.

–Eliminates much of the friction caused by separate browser sessions and repeated logins.
–Makes internal tools and workflows automatable even when they lack APIs.
–Broad browser permissions and access to sensitive pages make approvals, allowlists, and human review essential.
