Using Space Chat

The browser and your Vault

Let the copilot use a real web browser for you, watch it live, take over when needed, and keep passwords safe.

Some tasks need a real website: checking a supplier's portal, filling in a form, looking something up that a search can't give you. For these, the copilot can use a browser on your behalf.

How it works

The copilot opens its own private browser, looks at the screen and clicks and types, much as you would. The browser lives on a secure server, not on your computer, and each task gets a clean browser that is deleted afterwards. Nothing carries over between tasks.

Try asking

Go to our supplier portal and check the status of order 4821.

Using the browser always asks for your approval first. See Approvals.

Watching live and taking control

A live view appears above the message box, so you can watch every move.

  • Watching is the default. You can see but not click.
  • Take control lets you use the page yourself. The agent pauses while you do. Click Hand back when you're done and it carries on.
  • Stop ends the task.

After the task finishes, the browser stays open for about three minutes so you can look around, sign in or finish by hand.

When the browser needs you

The agent pauses and asks for help rather than trying to get around a barrier. It does this when:

  • It hits a CAPTCHA, a “verify you're human” page or a one-time code request.
  • It needs a decision you haven't given, such as which of two flights.
  • It finds a login or card details it doesn't have.
  • The page seems to instruct the agent to do something else (a safety check). Handing back confirms you're happy to continue.

Your Vault

When a site needs a sign-in, you don't type your password to the AI. You use your Vault.

Open Settings › Vault to store:

  • Logins: a name, the websites it applies to, a username and a password.
  • Payment cards: number, expiry and name. The security code is never stored.

Everything is encrypted and personal to you. The AI only sees the name and website of a saved login, never the password. The browser fills the fields itself, only on the right secure (HTTPS) site.

The secure form

If the browser meets a site you haven't saved, a secure form appears in the chat:

shop.example.com needs your card details. Do you want to use your Vault? It's stored securely and typed into the page by the browser. The AI never sees it.

You can enter a login or card (with Save to my Vault for next time on by default), or choose I'll type it myself and take control. A card is never used automatically. You pick it each time.

Route traffic through your own computer

Some websites block traffic from servers. You can optionally route a browsing task through your own computer using the BotCircuits desktop connector, so the site sees your normal connection. Set this up in Settings under the browser section. Your administrator may need to allow it.

Privacy note

The browser's AI works from screenshots, which can show personal information on a page. Ask your administrator whether browser use is approved for work involving sensitive personal data.
