Getting Started & Usage

This page covers activation, installation, first use, and the fastest checks when the browser extension does not appear.

How do I install the Grais extension on a Chromium-based browser?

Grais is invitation only. Request an invitation or apply using your invitation. Existing and approved accounts can continue to onboarding.

Sign in to your existing or approved account.
Open onboarding and continue to extension setup.
Open the Chrome Web Store, install Grais, pin it to your toolbar and open a conversation.

Notes

If the Web Store page says the item is not available, sign into the Chrome Web Store with the Google account authorized for the extension.
If you are using Microsoft Edge, allow extensions from other stores when prompted, then continue the installation.
If signup or paid activation succeeds but install access is missing, contact [email protected].

How do I use Grais?

You can launch Grais inside supported browser pages where you are writing messages. Grais reads the conversation context you attach or open, drafts a reply, and leaves the final send decision with you.

Quick Start

Open a site with a text box (e.g., a chat or comment field).
Launch Grais: Click the Grais icon near the text box, or use the toolbar icon if you do not see an inline control.
Generate a draft: Open the panel, choose the level of help you want, and generate a reply.
Review before sending: Edit the draft if needed, insert it into the message box, and send only when it is right.

For best results, keep the thread open while generating. Grais works better when it can see the immediate context, the person you are replying to, and the tone of the current exchange.

What should I do after setup?

Start with a low-risk conversation where you know the right answer but want the wording cleaned up. This gives you a good feel for the draft quality without putting a sensitive thread first.

Useful first workflows:

Rewrite a short reply so it sounds more like you.
Ask for a calmer version of a tense message, then use the pressure-repair protocol if the conversation needs choice restored before a decision resumes.
Generate a reply in another language while preserving your tone.
Set a goal with /goal when the conversation needs several steps instead of one quick response, and check the decision-gate map before turning a plan into assigned work.

After the first draft works, use the product and research paths that match the job in front of you:

Read the v0.11 product update for the side-panel, activation, billing, and research-discovery changes released in May 2026.
Read Conversation Handoff Reliability After a Pause before using Grais on a thread that moved across tabs, channels, or reopened browser sessions.
Read How to Define the Success Condition Before Tailoring the Plan before asking Grais to shape a sales, advisory, or stakeholder plan around a specific outcome.
Read How to Qualify the Operating Constraint Before Proposing the Workflow before rolling a first workflow across browsers, channels, owners, or handoffs that may not support the same context.

Troubleshooting

Do not see the icon? Refresh the page, confirm the extension is enabled at chrome://extensions, edge://extensions, or brave://extensions, and verify you are using a supported desktop Chromium browser.
Panel will not open? Click the toolbar icon once, refresh the page, then reopen the conversation.
Drafts do not generate? Confirm your account has active free, Core, Pro, or privileged access, check your network connection, and try a page with a normal text box before reporting the issue.
Using Brave? Temporarily disable Shields for the site and refresh. Shields can block extension behavior on some pages.

Can I use Grais on multiple devices?

Yes, you can install Grais on more than one desktop or laptop as long as you use a supported Chromium-based browser and your account has active free, paid, or privileged access.

The currently named browser targets are Chrome, Brave, Microsoft Edge, and Arc. Other Chromium browsers may work, but they are not the primary support targets.

Mobile browser extensions are not the live product path. The public product page lists iOS and Mac as separate rollout surfaces rather than mobile browser extension installs.
