Meet Chief wherever you work

Chief runs in three places so you can capture and ask about information without switching context: the web app, a desktop app, and a browser extension. Your account and data follow you across all of them.

​
Web

The web app is the full Chief experience and the place most people start — it runs in your browser at chief.bot. Everything in this help center (Projects, Library, chats, Skills, Expert Voices) lives here. Nothing to install.

​
Desktop app

The desktop app runs on your computer and powers Live Sessions — it listens to your meetings, captures every decision and commitment, and auto-assigns follow-ups. You connect it to your account with a pairing code generated in the web app under Settings → Devices.

​
Browser extension

The browser extension (available for Chrome and Firefox) adds a side panel so you can summarize and chat with any web page and save pages into a Project. Install it from the “Install Extension” link in the navigation sidebar footer.
ℹ️ Good to Know: The desktop app and extension are companions to the web app, not replacements. You still manage Projects, Files, and settings in the web app at chief.bot.

​
FAQ

In the web app go to Settings → Devices, generate a pairing code, and enter that code in the Chief app on your computer. It then shows as paired with your device.
Some pages can’t be read by the extension (for example, browser system pages or pages that block content extraction). Open a normal article or document page and try again.
Yes. Live Sessions are powered by the desktop app — you’ll be prompted to download the app to start one.
