What if your AI assistant didn’t just fetch info but actually graded your work? Not in a “good job, champ” way, but a real, slightly savage performance review.
That’s exactly what happened when I tested Claude’s new Chrome extension through Anthropic’s Fire Ants Creator program. And the warning label was clear: experimental, expect bugs.
Translation? We’re all beta testers in a live lab.
So, of course I gave Claude full browser access. Basically the keys to my digital kingdom… And in twenty minutes it saved me three hours of grunt work. It booked a meeting, dropped in an agenda, and even reorganized my entire Google Drive in seconds. Tasks that normally eat away hours? Gone.
But then came the twist: I asked it to review a Canva carousel. And this “AI intern” did not hold back. It told me my last slide read like “meditation for robots.” Brutal, but dead accurate. That single critique? The kind of feedback I’d normally pay a consultant hundreds for.
Here’s the real shift: this isn’t a passive tool anymore. With browser access, AI becomes a team member. Which means you’ve got to manage it, set task boundaries, review its output, and watch for prompt injection attacks (yes, malicious instructions hidden inside emails or docs are now a thing).
The upside? Instant feedback, hours back in your week, and a fresh set of eyes on your strategy.
The risk? You can’t autopilot this. You’re now the manager of your AI workforce.

Claude's Chrome Extension Gave Me a Performance Review (And Exposed a Major Security Risk)
Your AI assistant can now control your browser. It can read your emails, reorganize your files, and book your meetings. And right now, any website you visit can secretly hijack it.
