Opening the AI Chat Sidebar
Access AI assistance on any webpage:
- Right-click anywhere on a webpage
- Select Airia Chat from the context menu
- The chat sidebar will appear on the right side of your browser
Alternatively, click the extension icon in your toolbar to open the popup interface.
Using Quick Actions
Quick Actions provide instant AI assistance with common tasks. Access them from the chat sidebar or by selecting text on any webpage.
Available Quick Actions
The Airia Browser Extension includes several built-in capabilities:
Summarize
Get a concise summary of the current webpage's content. Perfect for quickly understanding long articles, documentation, or reports.
Key Points
Extract the main points from a webpage in bullet format. Ideal for research, note-taking, and information gathering.
Translate
Translate webpage content into different languages. Ask the agent to translate to your preferred language.
Custom Quick Actions
Your administrator may configure additional custom Quick Actions tailored to your organization's needs. These appear in the Quick Actions menu and can be designed for:
- Specific workflows
- Industry-specific tasks
- Custom analysis or processing
Page Context Integration
The Airia Browser Extension automatically includes context from your current webpage when you interact with agents:
- Automatic Context: Current page content is automatically available to the agent
- Smart Extraction: The extension intelligently extracts meaningful content from web pages
- Better Responses: Agents can reference specific information from the page you're viewing
For the most accurate results, ensure the webpage content you want to reference is fully loaded before starting your conversation.
Security & Compliance
Depending on your organization's settings, the extension may enforce additional protections while you use AI sites like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity:
- Sign-in Requirements: You may be blocked from using ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini with a personal account and prompted to sign in with your work account instead, to keep company data within approved, corporate-managed accounts.
- Prompt Protections: Some messages you send to these AI sites may be blocked before they're sent if they appear to contain sensitive content.
These protections are configured by your administrator and vary by organization. If you're unexpectedly blocked, contact your IT team.
