Install DeepShell for Chrome
Learn about install steps, first safe task, permissions, credits, troubleshooting, desktop status.
Definition
Installing DeepShell for Chrome means adding the extension, pinning the side panel, signing in for o10.io credits, granting per-site access when asked, and completing one verifiable public-page task before you touch confidential work. You do not need a macOS desktop package for this product.
Key takeaways
- Pin the extension; sign in for credits; run a public two-tab compare first.
- You need Chrome/Chromium - not a Mac desktop installer - for this product.
- If the panel seems empty, check enablement, pin state, tab selection, and site permission.
- Desktop app docs on this URL are redirected in meaning to Chrome setup.
- Ready-made bots are read-only and run only while Chrome is open. Changes require permission; sending, paying, deleting, and submitting always ask first.
- Start on public pages, then apply the same loop to real work under your data rules.
Prerequisites
Chrome or supported Chromium. Ability to install extensions under IT policy. An o10.io account path for credits.
A first task that uses public pages only.
When you apply this to real DeepShell for Chrome work, keep the select → ask → verify → export → receipt loop intact. If a step feels skippable, it is usually the step that prevents a shallow artefact - especially verification and scope control.
For "Install DeepShell for Chrome", write one sentence in your team norm that captures the rule above. Norms that live only in a kickoff meeting evaporate by week three; norms that live next to the process guide stick.
Install and pin
Add from the listing / deepshell.ai Chrome path. Pin the icon. Open the side panel once so people know where it lives.
Sign in so receipts and credits attach to a real account.

Only then move to internal pages allowed by policy.
