Chrome

The Chrome Track requires Lightrail's Chrome Extension to be installed, to facilitate communication between Lightrail and Google Chrome. If you haven't already installed it, follow these directions:

Download this file: lightrail-chrome.zip (opens in a new tab)

Unzip lightrail-chrome.zip. It should contain a folder called dist.

In Chrome, go to chrome://extensions. There should be a toggle in the upper-right labelled Developer Mode. Toggle it so that Developer Mode is enabled.

Click the Load unpacked button, and select the dist folder (from step 2).

Done! For more details / pictures, see: https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/mv3/getstarted/development-basics/#load-unpacked (opens in a new tab)

You can input content from Google Chrome to Lightrail using the following Tokens:

/chrome.current-selection: Any highlighted text
/chrome.current-page: The most recent tab open

⚠︎

Content ingested via the Google Chrome Tokens is subject to OpenAI's context length limit. If a webpage is too long to use /chrome.current-page, you can either select the relevant content using /chrome.current-selection or add the entire page to your local Lightrail knowledge base (instructions here).
