Deep dive into finding files and PDFs on websites

Tired of endlessly clicking through complex menus and search results just to find a single document? This feature transforms how you locate files on the web. You can now ask the Assistant to find specific files, like PDFs, on any website, and it will provide a direct link, saving you valuable time and effort.

What's new

This feature has a powerful file-finding capability directly in the browser's Assistant. Instead of relying on a website's internal search function or sifting through Google results, you can use a simple, conversational prompt on any webpage. The Assistant will intelligently scan the site, identify the requested document, and present you with a direct download link, even on large and poorly organized sites like government portals.

How to use this feature

  1. Navigate to the website where you need to find a file (e.g., irs.gov).
  2. Open the Assistant panel on the right side of your browser window.
  3. In the chat input, type a natural language request for the file you need. For example, type "Get me the W9 pdf from this website."
  4. The Assistant will process your request, search the website, and provide a direct link to the PDF.
  5. Click the link to open or download the file instantly.

Key capabilities

  • Bypass Complex Navigation: Instantly find documents buried deep within a website's structure without manual searching.
  • Efficient Government and Corporate Site Search: Quickly locate official forms, reports, and manuals on sites that are notoriously difficult to navigate.
  • Natural Language Understanding: Ask for what you want in plain English, just as you would ask a human assistant.
  • Direct Link Extraction: The Assistant provides the exact URL for the file, so you can access it with a single click.

Tips for getting the most out of this feature

For the best results, be as specific as you can in your request. If you're looking for a specific version of a form, include the year or revision number (e.g., "Find the W-9 PDF from March 2024"). This feature is not limited to PDFs; you can also ask for other file types like .docx or .csv if you know they exist on the site.

Summary

The new file-finding capability is a game-changer for productivity, especially for anyone who frequently deals with official documentation. By letting the AI handle the tedious task of searching, you can retrieve the exact files you need in seconds. This feature turns your browser into a smarter, more efficient tool for research and information gathering.
