PLAINGuide

A helping hand beside your page.

The Chrome preview opens in a side panel. Its pointer shows where to look; you make every click.

Preview installation is available for testing.

This is an unpacked Chrome extension, not a Chrome Web Store release. Live guidance requires a verified account and an active plan. Early access capacity and service limits may pause help.

Download Chrome previewTry the example first

Install on desktop Chrome

  1. Download and unzip

    Save the preview ZIP and extract its files into a folder you can keep.

  2. Open Chrome’s extension settings

    Type chrome://extensions into Chrome’s address bar. Turn on “Developer mode” at the top right.

  3. Load the preview folder

    Choose “Load unpacked” and select the extracted folder containing manifest.json.

  4. Open it on a website

    Visit an ordinary website. Click Chrome’s extensions button, then PLAINGuide. Pin it if you want quick access.

  5. Sign in and choose page access

    The helper asks before reading the active page. Live help needs a verified email and an active plan.

What you are allowing

The helper reads a limited selection of visible page text and control labels when you ask for help. It excludes typed form values and editable text. Visible information may still contain personal details. Relevant context goes to PLAINGuide and OpenAI to produce guidance.

It does not click, type or submit for you. During an active task, the helper automatically checks new pages on the same website, keeping your original goal. Each new page needs a fresh AI request. A different website or tab needs permission again. Stopping or closing the panel removes access.

Help when a page is difficult to read

The helper can use accessible controls in same-origin embedded frames and supported shadow content. Cross-origin frames, some visual canvas controls and protected browser pages still limit direct page access.

For Chrome settings, choose a local manual guide. For a visual page or app window, choose “Help from a screenshot”: capture a tab, choose a window or select an image file, cover private areas, then review and send that one image. The helper gives written instructions and can mark an approximate area in the shared preview. It cannot place a pointer on protected screens or click for you. A new screenshot needs a fresh review and AI request.

Remove the preview

Return to Chrome’s extension settings and choose “Remove” on PLAINGuide. Account and subscription controls remain available on this website.
