Interact with web pages using the Storytell Chrome Extension
Navigate to the web page you want to chat about.
Click on the Storytell Chrome Extension icon to open the extension.
You’ll see the title of the current webpage in the top bar.
Remember to select the Collection you want to save the page to before starting a chat. This will also affect the Knowledge base used for the chat.
The extension doesn’t run automatically - you need to open and close it manually.

Click on the Collection dropdown in the top bar.
Select the desired Collection or create a new one.
When you open the extension on a new page, you’ll see a set of predefined prompts:

Quickly identify and highlight the most important insights from this page, making it easier to review key points at a glance.
Transform dense or technical information into a more digestible and easy-to-understand summary without losing key details.
Click on any of these prompts to start a chat based on that specific task.
