Use Sidekick to work in your browser

Last checked Oct 27, 2026 against Tabflows v3.10.63

On this page

Before you start

  • Use desktop Chrome with the Tabflows extension connected.
  • Open and sign in to the system where the work belongs.
  • Confirm the correct patient, clinic, and page.
  • State one exact outcome and any boundary Sidekick must not cross.

Browser use must be enabled for your account by Tabflows. It works through your live extension session and the access already available to you.


Clear requests, patient contact, and confirmations

A specific request to complete the work is the go. Sidekick does not need to ask for the same confirmation again.

If the request names a patient, a system, and the contact to send, that is permission only for that requested contact. A system-generated notice caused by a requested change is part of the requested work.

Sidekick skips unrelated patient contact, asks when the request is vague, and does not invent an approval the human never gave. Deleting records remains outside Browser use.


Run and review

  1. Ask Sidekick to complete the browser task.
  2. Watch the Browser use card and the page as the job proceeds.
  3. Select Stop if the patient, page, action, or direction is wrong.
  4. When the job finishes, verify the result in the source system before relying on it.

Browser use works only with the requesting human’s live extension session and available permissions. It does not reveal saved passwords, borrow another person’s browser, or run from a scheduled message when no live browser is attached.

Jobs also stop at built-in step and time guards rather than wandering indefinitely.


Browser use is not Screen awareness

Screen awareness gives a new conversation a snapshot of the active page. Browser use is a separately enabled action that can continue reading and interacting with the page.

A snapshot is context; Browser use is work. Neither proves that the patient, source, or final result is correct.
