Get started with Browser Autopilot

Load Browser Autopilot in Chrome, record a browser task once, and replay it with a single click.

Updated 12 Jun 2026

Browser Autopilot records your clicks, typing and navigation once, then replays the whole flow with a single click. It's a lightweight Chrome and Edge extension for repetitive browser tasks, with no scripting required.

Install

You install Browser Autopilot by building it from its project folder and loading it as an unpacked extension. You'll need npm to build it.

Build the extension

In the project folder, install the dependencies and build:

npm install
npm run build

This bundles the popup, background and content scripts into a dist/ folder.

Turn on Developer mode

Open chrome://extensions and turn on Developer mode.

Load the extension

Click Load unpacked and select the dist/ folder.

Record and replay a flow

Record

Start a recording with one click, then do the task as you normally would. Browser Autopilot captures clicks, text input, dropdown selections and navigation.

Review and edit the steps

The visual step editor lets you rename, reorder, edit or delete individual steps. You can also add manual delay and navigate steps, or pick new elements directly from the page.

Replay

Run the whole flow back with a single click. The live replay view shows each step as it runs, with progress, on-page highlighting and controls to skip a step that errors.

Back up your recordings

You can export all your recordings to a JSON file as a backup.

Good to know

  • Recordings run on regular web pages only. chrome://, edge:// and extension pages are blocked by design.
  • All your data is stored locally in chrome.storage.local. Nothing is sent to a server.
  • Light, Dark and System themes are available to everyone.
