I’m not sure even if these browser automation brings much value other than financial analysts, at least for the moment

I was sceptical as well before trying it out, but it is unfortunately very practical to ask the AI sidebar about an information-dense website or even github codebase (just as dev examples).

There were of course many browser extensions that did this beforehand (and even better, by hyper-linking the exact text passage of answer segments), but the main differentiator is that most people don't use them/know about them, and this comes with a big tech nametag and it is free.

Care to share some of those extensions? I feel like we're on the second/third wave of llm enhanced tools, and there's plenty of good stuff that got passed over from earlier waves of products/tool attempts.

Try search on a browser extension store for "AI Chat website" or similar. Also you can check out https://github.com/nanobrowser/nanobrowser.

Could you please suggest some of those extensions? I've been looking for an agentic tool like that, but isolated as an extension.
