Let me tell you something that changed how I think about AI at work.

ChatGPT is incredible. I use it all the time. But here’s the thing — it’s a separate app. It lives in its own tab, in its own world. It has no idea what I’m looking at, what I’m working on, or what’s happening in my browser right now.

dassi is different. It sits right there in my browser side panel. It sees exactly what I see.

And that changes everything.

Where Your Work Actually Happens

Think about your workday for a second. Where does most of it happen?

In your browser.

You’re in Salesforce updating a lead. You’re on LinkedIn researching a prospect. You’re inside your company’s internal web app reviewing tickets. You’re in Gmail, Google Docs, Notion, Jira — all browser tabs.

ChatGPT doesn’t know any of this. It can’t see your Salesforce. It can’t read your LinkedIn page. It has no clue what’s on your screen.

So every time you want AI help, you’re playing a copy-paste game. Copy the context. Switch tabs. Paste it into ChatGPT. Explain what you need. Copy the response. Switch back. Paste it in.

It works. But this creates a fundamental problem. Constant friction.

dassi Already Knows What You’re Looking At

Here’s what makes a browser agent different: dassi already sees the page you’re on.

When I open dassi while looking at an email thread, it doesn’t ask “what email?” It knows. It can read the whole conversation, see who’s involved, understand the context.

When I’m on a LinkedIn profile, dassi sees the person’s title, company, background — everything visible on that page.

No copying. No explaining. No “here’s the context you need to understand my question.”

It just… knows.

Not Just Answering — Actually Doing

But here’s where it gets really interesting.

ChatGPT answers questions. That’s what it does. You ask, it responds. Text in, text out.

dassi can take over your browser and do things for you.

Draft an email? It doesn’t just suggest text — it can actually compose it in Gmail, pulling from the context of your previous conversations with that person.

Fill out a form? It reads the fields, understands what’s needed, and fills them in.

Update a CRM record? It navigates to the right place and makes the changes.

This isn’t “here’s what you should do.” This is “let me do it for you.”

No More Guessing Games

When you ask ChatGPT to help with something work-related, there’s always this dance:

“I need help with an email…”

“Sure! What’s the email about?”

“It’s from a client named John, he’s asking about…”

“Got it. What’s your relationship with John?”

“He’s been a customer for 2 years, we sold him…”

You’re feeding it context piece by piece, hoping you gave it enough to be helpful. It’s a guessing game on both sides.

With dassi, I skip all that. It sees John’s email. It can see our previous thread. If I’m in Salesforce, it sees John’s entire customer record.

The result isn’t a guess based on what I remembered to tell it. It’s concrete. Based on actual data. Right there on my screen.

They’re Different Tools for Different Jobs

I’m not saying dassi replaces ChatGPT. I still use ChatGPT when I want to:

Have a long back-and-forth conversation about an idea
Brainstorm something from scratch
Learn about a topic I know nothing about
Work on code in my IDE

But when I’m doing browser work — which is most of my day — dassi just makes more sense.

	ChatGPT	dassi
Knows what page I’m on	No	Yes
Can click and type for me	No	Yes
Needs me to explain context	Yes	No
Works inside my workflow	No	Yes

The Coworker vs. The Phone Friend

Here’s how I think about it:

ChatGPT is like calling a brilliant friend who can help with anything — but you have to describe everything over the phone. They can’t see your screen. They’re working blind.

dassi is like having a coworker sitting next to you. They see your screen. They understand what you’re working on. And when you say “can you handle this?” — they actually can.

Both are valuable. But for the work that happens in your browser, the browser is the best place for AI.

Try It Yourself

The difference is hard to explain until you experience it. Here’s a simple test:

Open any email in your inbox
Open dassi in the side panel
Ask it to summarize the thread or draft a reply

Notice how you didn’t have to copy anything. It just read the page. Get started with dassi in under 5 minutes.

Get dassi in Chrome

Once you use a browser agent, going back to the copy-paste workflow feels painful.
