Buddy is your reference collector: hover over any image on any website, click, and it lands in your Agentic Hat conversation as an attachment. Group references into Mood Boards, send a whole board with a style prompt — or say “use the browser” and the agent opens the site, searches, reads, collects and checks its own work while you watch.
All of this ships in the Chrome Web Store build — install once and it updates itself.
On any website, hover over an image — Buddy pops up on it.
Click Buddy to collect the image.
Open Agentic Hat — the latest image is added to your conversation automatically. Not open? “Add to chat” opens it for you and drops the images in once you’re signed in.
In the side panel, tap the circle on images to select several, then add them to the chat in one go.
Use “Add to Mood Board…” to group references into boards — add a whole board to the chat anytime.
“Add to chat with style prompt” also pre-fills a style-analysis prompt — describe what you want and create in that style. You can customize the prompt in the panel settings.
Early access: new browser skills land here weeks before the store build. Right now that means a confirmation card before anything irreversible (checkout, pay, send, publish, delete), CAPTCHA hand-back on more sites, links that open in new tabs handled properly, and quicker page reading. You install it by hand (steps below), and it can be a little rough.
The Chrome Web Store is not reachable from mainland China. If that is you, download the zip above and follow the four steps below — Chrome does not allow installing .crx files from outside the store, so this is the only way in.
Download the zip and unzip it.
Open chrome://extensions in Chrome.
Turn on “Developer mode” (top-right corner).
Click “Load unpacked” and select the unzipped folder.
After installing, Chrome shows "Disable developer mode extensions" on every start. That is Chrome's standard notice for any extension not from the store, not an error — close it with the × and the extension keeps working.
To update later: download the newest zip, unzip it, then click the refresh icon on the extension card.
