AI Browser Setup
The extension works seamlessly with AI-powered browsers. Here's how to set it up:
Perplexity Comet Browser
Platform Availability
✅ Windows 10/11 | ✅ macOS (Apple Silicon) | ✅ Android
Installation
- Visit the Chrome Web Store
- Search for "awRAG Chrome Extension"
- Click "Add to Comet"
- Configure your API key in extension settings
Extension Management
Access your extensions at comet://extensions/
✨ Chromium-Based: Comet is built on Chromium, ensuring 100% compatibility with the awRAG extension.
OpenAI ChatGPT Atlas Browser
Platform Availability
✅ macOS | ⏳ Windows, iOS, Android (coming soon)
Installation
- Open the Chrome Web Store in Atlas
- Search for "awRAG Chrome Extension"
- Click "Add to Chrome" (Atlas is recognized as Chromium)
- Configure your API key in extension settings
Extension Compatibility
All Chrome extensions work natively in Atlas with full API compatibility.
✨ Chromium-Based: Atlas uses Chromium's web engine with OpenAI's custom OWL architecture, maintaining full extension support.
Google NotebookLM
Platform Availability
✅ Web-based (All platforms - Windows, macOS, Linux, ChromeOS)
Optimal Usage Flow
NotebookLM has query length limitations, so we use a different approach:
- In NotebookLM, click "Add new source" → "Text"
- Enter your topic title in the text field
- Press Cmd+Shift+K (Mac) or Ctrl+Shift+K (Windows)
- Context from your awRAG library is injected into the source input field
- Click "Add to sources"
Why This Works Better
- ✅ Bypasses query length limits - Context added as source, not query
- ✅ Persistent library - Build your NotebookLM library with awRAG content
- ✅ Cleaner UX - Sources are organized and reusable across queries
- ✅ Multiple sessions - Sources persist across NotebookLM sessions
💡 Pro Tip: Create separate NotebookLM sources for different topics from your awRAG library. This gives you an organized, topic-based knowledge library that works across all NotebookLM conversations.
Troubleshooting
🔐 Browser Permissions
The extension requires permissions to access and modify content on AI platform websites.
Solution: When installing, click "Allow" when Chrome requests permissions. You can review permissions in Chrome → Extensions → awRAG → Details.
📋 Clipboard Permission (Perplexity)
Perplexity uses a clipboard-based approach due to its Lexical editor architecture.
Solution: Grant clipboard permissions when prompted. After pressing the shortcut, paste the context manually with Cmd+V (Mac) or Ctrl+V (Windows).
⌨️ Keyboard Shortcut Conflicts
The default shortcut might conflict with other extensions or system shortcuts.
Solution: Go to Chrome → Extensions → Keyboard shortcuts and customize the awRAG shortcut to avoid conflicts.
🔑 API Key Issues
Extension not working or showing authentication errors.
Solution: Verify your API key in the extension settings. Get a fresh key from the awRAG Dashboard if needed.
🔄 Context Not Appearing
Context injection doesn't work on specific AI platforms.
Solution: Ensure you're on the correct page (chat interface), refresh the page, and check if the extension is enabled for that domain in Chrome settings.
💡 Pro Tip
For the best experience, keep your awRAG knowledge library organized with clear project names. The extension will search across all your projects, so well-structured content leads to better AI responses!
