The extension

The Claritty extension does three things in Chrome. It learns the work you keep doing, it lets you point at a page and ask about it, and it lets you show Claritty a task once so it can do it for you. It sees pages and clicks. It never keeps what you type.

Install it

1. 1
   Open claritty.ai/install and add it to Chrome.
2. 2
   Sign in to Claritty in the same browser. The extension uses that sign-in; there is no key to paste.
3. 3
   A small Claritty pill appears in the corner of pages. That pill is the whole interface on a page.

Learning how you work

Learning is on by default, and only in two kinds of place: the systems you connected to Claritty (QuickBooks, HubSpot and the others it knows how to read), and sites you turned learning on at yourself. Everywhere else the extension keeps nothing.

For each task it sees you finish there, it keeps the shape of it and nothing more.

qbo.intuit.com     /app/bills/new   4 min  saved
portal.vendor.com  /invoices/:id    3 min  saved
linkedin.com       /in/:id          1 min

The third line is a profile page. The person’s handle was in the address and is gone: a segment after a word like in, customers or vendors, a long slug, and a number-heavy id are all taken out before anything is stored. The server applies the same rule again, so a tampered extension cannot widen what is kept.

Turning it on at a site

Open the side panel on the site and choose Learn on that site. It must be a real public address; Claritty itself and private networks are refused. Stop it from the side panel or from Learned in the app, where every site you turned on is listed.

Turning it off

The corner

Click the pill on any page: the choice it opens has a learning switch. Off means off everywhere until you turn it back on.

The side panel

Pause for an hour, or until tomorrow.

Learned, in the app

Switch off a connected system, or stop learning at a site you chose.

The question it sometimes asks

The extension knows the shape of a task, never what it was. So when you have done the same thing at least three times in two weeks, right after you finish it, it may ask what it is:

You have done this on portal.vendor.com (the invoices page) 3 times in the
last two weeks, about 3 minutes each. What is it?

What happens with what it learned

In the app, Learned lists it under What you keep doing: each piece of work by your name for it, how often, and how long it takes you.

Name it

The same as answering the question, at any time.

Forget it

Deletes everything kept of that work, and it is never asked about again.

Work you keep doing also shows up as something Claritty could take over. Unnamed work asks for a name first. Named work offers to be shown how: it opens that site, and you show it once.

Point at it and ask

Hold your pick key (Alt by default, Option on a Mac) and click anything on a page, or drag a box around a list. The rows travel with your question, so the answer covers the whole list rather than what fits on screen. It works on pages you are already signed in to, with nothing to connect, and an answer worth having every week can become a job.

Show it a task once

Choose Show them how in the corner, do the task the way you always do, and stop. The extension records the controls you touched by their names, never the values you put in them.

type          textbox     "Email"            the value is not recorded
authenticate  credential  "Password"         never a keystroke
click         button      "Show overdue only"
select        cell        "item"             a row, not its contents
click         button      "Email vendor a reminder"

You read the steps back before anything is built. It then runs on a schedule in a browser Claritty controls, not your own, and every run shows you what it is about to send before it sends it.
