Do Browser — Prompting Cheat‑Sheet 🛠️🌐

Do Browser is an AI side‑kick that can read, search, open, and control webpages for you right inside Chrome.
You talk in plain English; it drives the tabs. Here's how to get the most out of it.

1 What You Can Ask 📋

Task typeExample promptWhat Do Browser will do
Instant answersWhat's the capital of Norway?Replies from its own knowledge—no tab work needed.
Open a pageOpen the docs for React Suspense.Uses openTab → shows the page, then waits for next steps.
Extract infoOn this page, grab all the H3 headings as a bullet list.Uses readTab and summarizes.
Automate a flowBook two tickets to *Dune Part 2* at AMC Kabuki tonight around 8 pm.Plans, confirms, then uses searchWeb, openTab, etc.
Find past stuffFind the Notion doc I opened about OKRs last week.Uses searchHistory to locate it.
Remember stuffMy phone number is 415‑555‑0199—save it.Calls recordMemory so you never repeat it.

2 Prompting Best‑Practices ✅

  1. State the goal, not the clicks.
    "Compare the cheapest round‑trip flights SFO → JFK for May 10–15" is clearer than "Open Google Flights, type …".
  2. Provide all inputs up front.
    Dates, party size, log‑ins, etc. save back‑and‑forth.
  3. Look out for a plan.
    For multi‑step jobs, Do Browser outlines its plan and asks "Sound good?" before acting.
  4. Refer to this page as "current tab."
    No need to know tab IDs.
  5. Mind privacy.
    Anything you share can be saved. If it's sensitive, say "don't save this."

3 Handy Prompt Patterns ✍️

Quick fact

"How long does it take to drive from LA to Yosemite?"

One‑shot open

"Open https://calendar.google.com in a new tab."

Data pull

"On the current tab, list every email address you can find."

Multi‑step automation

"Find three reputable sources that compare the Sony WH‑1000XM5 to the AirPods Max, summarize the main pros/cons of each in a table, and drop the links."

Reusing memory

"Text my usual number the confirmation once the table is booked."

4 Saving Information to Memory 💾

You can ask Do Browser to remember pieces of information for later use, like your phone number, address, or frequent flyer number. This saves you from repeating yourself.

To save information:

"Remember my phone number is 555-123-4567." "Save my home address as 123 Main St, Anytown, USA." "My loyalty number for Airline XYZ is 123456789. Please save that."

Do Browser will use the recordMemory tool to store this.

To use saved information:

"Book a flight using my saved frequent flyer number." "Send the details to my saved phone number."

Privacy Note: Be mindful of what you ask it to save. If information is sensitive, you can explicitly tell it not to save something after providing it for a one-time task:

"Use 987-654-3210 for this booking, but don't save this number."

5 How Confirmation Flows Feel 🤔

  1. You: "Book a table for 2 at Rich Table next Tuesday at 9 pm"
  2. Do Browser: Explains it will search for Rich Table, open the site/booking page, find the reservation widget, select the date/time/party size, and ask for your details—asks for your OK first. "I can help with that! First I'll search the web for 'Rich Table San Francisco OpenTable', then open their site. I'll control the tab to find and click the reservation link. After that, I'll control the new booking tab (likely on Resy) to select party size 2, the date (Tue Apr 29 2025, assuming today is Apr 22 2025), and the time 9:00 PM. Sound good?"
  3. You: "Yeah that sounds good"
  4. Do Browser: Executes tool calls (like searchWeb, openTab, controlTab), potentially asking for more info. "Okay, I've found the booking form. To complete the reservation I'll need a contact phone number."
  5. You: "(555)-555-5555"
  6. Do Browser: Saves the number (recordMemory), fills the final form (controlTab), and confirms. "You are all set! Your reservation at Rich Table for 2 on Tue Apr 29 2025 at 9 pm is confirmed."

If something fails—site down, captcha, login—you'll get a clear error and a suggested workaround.
