What is the Reuben AI Chrome extension?
Last reviewed: 1 September 2026
The Reuben AI Chrome extension is a browser companion to your Reuben AI workspace. It adds a popup, side panel, insights rail, omnibox and right-click menu so you can capture companies, view mandate fit and send tabs to deals from any page. Coming soon on the Chrome Web Store.
The extension turns Chrome into an extension of your Reuben AI workspace. Open a company on Crunchbase or a profile on LinkedIn and the side panel shows mandate fit, prior notes and any pipeline history. Right-click any selection to send it back as a note, memo snippet or new opportunity, mapped to the current tab.
It is built on Manifest V3, so it runs on Chrome, Edge, Brave, Arc, Opera and Vivaldi. Sign-in is Google OAuth against your existing workspace, and every action inherits your role, mandate scope and permissions.
The Insights Rail is read-only. Nothing writes to the workspace without an explicit click, and there is no background scraping or telemetry beyond standard workspace audit events.
