Web Extensions

​

Turn Every Browser Into a Productivity Powerhouse

Your team spends 6+ hours daily in their browsers. Reading content. Analyzing competitors. Managing campaigns. Researching prospects. But browsers are passive tools — they display information without helping you act on it. Web extensions change this, transforming browsers from viewing windows into intelligent assistants that work alongside your team.

​

The 20,000 User Success Story

This becomes a force multiplier that compounds with every user.

​

What Are Web Extensions?

Web extensions are programs that extend browser functionality, operating directly where your team already works. They can:

• Read and modify any webpage
• Inject intelligence into existing platforms
• Automate repetitive browser tasks
• Extract and process information in real-time
• Connect web data to your business systems
• Work silently in the background

Think of them as giving your team superpowers on every website they visit.
