🎉 What Is This?
chrome-needle is a free Chrome extension that lets you control your browser by typing or speaking normal sentences. Instead of clicking through menus and typing commands, you can tell chrome-needle what you want—like "fill this form with my name and email" or "go to the next tab"—and it does it for you.
The magic happens because chrome-needle contains a small but powerful artificial intelligence (AI) model called Needle 2. This AI runs right inside your browser using a technology called WebAssembly (WASM). No internet connection is needed. It works 100% offline, so your private information never leaves your computer.
chrome-needle can help you:
- Control browser tabs (open, close, switch, search)
- Fill out forms automatically with your saved data
- Interact with web pages (click buttons, read text, navigate)
- Run custom scripts you write yourself (if you want to get fancy)
