Claude's Chrome Extension is Awesome
Full Pro Playbook with 32 Prompts for the Top Use Cases.
Imagine if your browser worked for you instead of the other way around.
Claude in Chrome is an extension that puts Claude in a side panel next to your browser.
It clicks buttons. It fills forms. It scrolls pages, switches tabs, and runs multi-step tasks on your behalf, inside whatever you’re browsing or already signed into (Gmail, Google Analytics, Instagram).
This post is the quick playbook to get you using the most powerful Chrome extension in the world. 32 ready-to-paste prompts across the eight tools you already use every day.
How to install it
Here are four simple steps to get started.
*At the very least you will need to be on Claude’s entry level paid plan to use it. It is not currently available on their free plan.
1. Go to the Chrome Web Store. Search “Claude” and pick the extension published by Anthropic. Or click here to go straight to Claude’s Chrome extension.
2. Click “Add to Chrome”. Accept the permissions prompt.
3. Pin it. Click the puzzle icon in your toolbar, find Claude, hit the thumbtack. If you skip this, the icon hides every time and you’ll forget the extension exists.
4. Sign in with your Claude credentials. Same account you use on claude.ai.
Click the Claude icon. The side panel opens on the right. You’re ready to go.
The three settings that matter
Most people skip these. Don’t.
Permission mode. Open the extension menu and choose “Ask before acting” until you’ve used Claude in Chrome for at least a week. This makes Claude show you the next action and wait for approval. After you trust it on a specific site, you can switch that site to “Pre-approved” so Claude runs without asking. Never pre-approve banking, payroll, or admin consoles.
Model picker. The dropdown next to the prompt box lets you pick Opus 4.7 (best reasoning, slowest), Sonnet (balanced), or Haiku 4.5 (fast, cheaper on tokens). Use Haiku for repetitive scraping and form-filling. Use Opus for multi-step research that requires judgment. Use Sonnet for everything else.
Schedule. The little clock icon in the top right of the panel lets you run any task on a recurring schedule. Daily, weekly, monthly. Set it and walk away.
Here are the top use cases from power users.
We have compliled a list of 32 use cases (with prompts that are ready to use) across the following categories; Gmail, Google Docs, Google Sheets, social media, Reddit, Slack, Google Analytics and Google Search Console.
Gmail
Find every newsletter you’ve stopped opening and unsubscribe in bulk
Tell Claude to find recurring senders you’ve ignored for 90 days, list them for approval, then click the unsubscribe link on each approved one.
Go through my Gmail. Find every recurring sender (newsletters, marketing emails, automated alerts) where I haven’t opened a single email in the last 90 days. List them first for me to approve. Then unsubscribe from the ones I approve by clicking the unsubscribe link in each email.
Find unanswered emails in your sent folder and draft follow-ups
Claude scans what you sent in the last 30 days, finds emails where the recipient went silent, and drafts a short, friendly nudge for each one.
Look at my Gmail sent folder from the last 30 days. Find emails I sent where the recipient hasn’t replied in 7+ days, that aren’t just confirmations or “thanks”. Draft a short, friendly follow-up for each one. Show me the list with the original email and your draft. I’ll approve which ones to send.
