HoloTab Tutorial

April 15th, 2026

Get started on HoloTab

HoloTab is a Chrome extension that can navigate the web exactly like you do, so you can skip the clicking and typing altogether.

Most AI tools stop at the chat box. HoloTab goes further: it works within your browser (clicking, typing, navigating) to complete tasks on your behalf. Think of it as an AI browser companion capable of working on any website.

HoloTab lives as a side panel in Chrome. You type (or speak) what you want done, and HoloTab handles the rest: navigating pages, filling forms, sending messages, and reporting back.

Here's how to get started in less than five minutes.

Setup

HoloTab is now available in the Chrome Web Store. Install it here and try it for free. Next, click the extension icon to open HoloTab in the side panel.

Tip: Once you've installed the extension, pin it to your Chrome toolbar so HoloTab is always one click away.

Before creating an account, HoloTab displays a safety notice. Here's what it actually means:

• Screenshots of the active tab: HoloTab needs to "see" what's on the screen to act on it. These are temporary and deleted after each session.

• Opening new tabs: To work on your behalf, by booking meetings or sending emails, for example, HoloTab often has to open new tabs (e.g., Google Calendar, Gmail).

• Sensitive sites are blocked: Sensitive sites are blocked. Banking and similar high-risk services are off-limits by design due to the sensitive nature of the data involved, including PII, data privacy considerations, and ethical constraints.

When ready, click Get Started, sign in with Google, and you're good to go. The whole process takes under a minute.

Your first task

Not sure where to start? Try one of our pre-built routines, like booking a restaurant or creating an eBay listing. Or just type in what you need.

The panel shows you HoloTab's reasoning in real time: which tab it's looking at, what it has decided to do next, and what it found. You stay in control the entire time: you can stop, redirect, or approve before anything is sent.

Tips for better prompts: Be specific about the platform ("use Gmail", "search on OpenTable"), mention any constraints or requirements ("wait for my approval before sending"), and describe the goal more so than the steps.

What HoloTab can do for you

BOOK A RESTAURANT

CONTEXT
Big client dinner coming up. You want a great Italian spot, booked, without spending 20 minutes on OpenTable.

PROMPT
Find a nice Italian restaurant in Midtown for 4 this Thursday at 12:30 for a business lunch and add it to my calendar.

WHAT HAPPENS
HoloTab searches, checks availability, books the table, and adds the event to Google Calendar, automatically.

Restaurant found, table booked, calendar updated all from one prompt.

CLEAR YOUR INBOX

CONTEXT
Forty unread emails and a meeting in ten minutes.

PROMPT
Check my Gmail inbox and write draft replies for each unread email that needs a response.

WHAT HAPPENS
HoloTab reads each email, drafts a contextually appropriate reply, and queues them up. You review and hit send.

ADD LINKEDIN LEADS TO HUBSPOT

CONTEXT
You've been collecting leads on LinkedIn and need them in your CRM without the copy-paste grind.

PROMPT
Go to my LinkedIn connections, find anyone with "Head of Growth" in their title, and add them as contacts in HubSpot with their name, company, and profile URL.

WHAT HAPPENS
HoloTab navigates both platforms, pulls the data, and populates HubSpot, no integration required.

Power features

Once you've run a few tasks manually, these four features take HoloTab to the next level.

• Voice Input: Can't type right now? Just speak your task. Voice works the same as text. HoloTab listens and executes.

• Record a Routine: Show HoloTab how to do it once. It watches, learns the steps, and creates a reusable routine.

• Schedules: Run any routine automatically daily, weekly, monthly. Set it once and let it run in the background without you.

Recording a routine: HoloTab watches what you do, then replicates it on demand.

Scheduling: define the task variables, pick a frequency, and let HoloTab do the rest.

The record and schedule combination is where casual users become power users. You run a task once, teach HoloTab how to do the same thing, and it handles every subsequent run on a timer, with whatever variables you set.

And with that, you’re all set to stop clicking and start getting your time back.

You've got better things to do than browse.

Leave it to HoloTab.
