The AI Second Brain

Claude for Chrome! a practical guide:

it's Anthropic's browser extension that puts Claude AI directly in your browser.

it's an agent in the sidebar that can see your screen and take actions for you. Click buttons, fill forms, extract data, navigate between pages. All through natural conversation.

Think of it as having an extremely capable assistant sitting next to you who can actually touch your keyboard and mouse.

What can it actually do?

The stuff that works really well:

Scan a webpage and summarize what matters
Fill out forms across multiple sites
Extract data from dashboards and dump it into docs
Test code changes live in the browser
Navigate multi-step workflows without babysitting

Setup (2 minutes)

You need a paid Claude account.
Go to Chrome Web Store, search "Claude in Chrome" (publisher: Anthropic)
Click install, grant permissions
Ctrl/Cmd + Esc opens the sidebar on any page

Quick performance hack: Zoom your browser out to 50-70%. Claude reads pages via screenshots, and smaller screenshots = faster processing. This alone can double your speed.

privacy NOTE:

Claude takes screenshots of your active tab only, not your whole screen. Those screenshots go to Anthropic's servers for processing.

What this means: Don't use it for banking, passwords, or anything you'd be nervous about

how you can use Claude for Chrome for Linkedin:

Research and trends:

Open any Linkedin search page or trending topic. In the sidebar:

"Scan this page. What are the 5 biggest themes people are discussing? Who's getting the most engagement and why?"

Claude reads the page, extracts patterns, gives you a structured breakdown.

Content Creation

Open your compose box. Ask Claude:

"I want to write about [topic]. Give me 3 different hooks I could use: one that's contrarian, one that's a personal story angle, one that's a question."

Then pick what resonates and refine from there.

Matching a style:

"Look at how @[username] writes. What patterns do you notice? Now help me write something similar about [my topic]."

Batch creation:

"Based on what's trending in [your niche] right now, suggest 7 post ideas I could schedule this week. Give me the actual drafts, not just concepts."

my conclusion: this thing is criminally underrated!

Claude for Chrome isn't magic. It won't make bad ideas good or replace genuine thinking. But for the 80% of work that's research, drafting, and analysis it's a genuine force multiplier.

Within a week, you'll wonder how you managed without it.
At least this happened to me.
