Browser

Artemis has an integrated browser next to the chat. It has its own tabs and its own saved session, and the agent can drive it while you watch.

How to use

  1. Open it with the globe button in the sidebar, or pick Browser in the command palette (Cmd/Ctrl+K).
  2. Type a URL, a bare domain or search words in the address bar. Use the tab strip to open (New tab) and close tabs, and Back, Forward, Reload to move around. Open in your browser sends the current page to your default browser.
  3. To let Artemis use it, turn on Settings → Tools & safety → Browser control, then ask, for example "open the pricing page of example.com and summarize the plans".
  4. Artemis asks once per site per task before it acts on that site.
  5. When a site needs you to sign in, Artemis asks you to sign in yourself in the browser panel and tell it when you are done.

Tips

  • For a quick fact, web_search and web_fetch are cheaper. Use the browser for interactive sites, signed-in pages, forms and anything you want to watch.
  • The browser keeps cookies and logins between sessions, separately from your everyday browser. Sign in once and Artemis can use that session.

Limits and safety

  • Only http, https and about:blank pages open; file:, javascript:, data: and other schemes are refused.
  • Artemis does not type passwords, card numbers or other secrets, and asks before submitting purchases, payments or messages unless you clearly asked for it.
  • Page text, console and network output are treated as untrusted data; Artemis does not follow instructions found on a page.
  • Running JavaScript can read and change anything on the page, including signed-in pages, so it has its own approval.
  • Browser control never runs in scheduled tasks or phone tasks, and is not given to sub-agents.
