Introducing Cowork and Dume for Chrome: Your AI Assistant, Everywhere You Work

We've been quietly building two things you've been asking for. Today, they're both live.

Dume Cowork brings autonomous AI agents to your desktop. Dume for Chrome brings your AI assistant into your browser. Together, they mean Dume is no longer just an app you open — it's with you wherever work happens.

The Problem We're Solving

Most AI tools are islands. You have one tab for your AI assistant, another for your docs, another for your inbox, another for your project tracker. You're the one doing the copy-pasting, the context-switching, the busywork.

Dume was built to fix that to connect your tools, anticipate your needs, and handle the work that shouldn't be your job. Cowork and Dume for Chrome are the next step in that mission.

Cowork: The AI Agent That Works While You Don't

Most AI tools are conversation partners. You ask, they answer. You still have to do the actual work.

Dume Cowork is different. It's an autonomous AI desktop agent that doesn't just tell you how to do things — it does them. You describe what you need in plain English, and Dume takes it from there.

No coding. No setup. No prompt engineering. It's built for people who want the power of AI agents without needing to be technical.

Currently in research preview — available on Apple Silicon Mac. Windows coming soon.

What it can do

• Organize your files and folders — clean up your Downloads, sort documents by project or date, rename in bulk
• Build spreadsheets from receipts and invoices — drop files in, get a structured report out
• Prepare weekly reports — pulls data from JIRA, GitHub, Slack, and other sources automatically
• Analyze meeting notes — extracts decisions, action items, and key themes without you reading a word
• Run on WhatsApp — send Dume a message from your phone and it handles the task on your desktop

How it works

1. Tell Dume what you need — type a task in plain English, drop a file, or send a WhatsApp message
2. Dume plans it and gets to work — it breaks the task into steps and executes them across your files, browser, and apps in real time
3. You stay in control — before any major action, Dume shows you the plan and waits for approval. Redirect or stop it at any point.

Dume Cowork is local-first. Your files and data stay on your machine. Nothing leaves without your knowledge. It runs on macOS (Apple Silicon) today, with Windows coming soon.

Dume for Chrome: Your AI Assistant in Every Tab

You shouldn't have to leave the browser to use your AI assistant.

Dume for Chrome is a Chrome extension that brings your AI assistant into every tab. It connects to the tools you already use — Gmail, Notion, Slack, Google Docs, Jira, and more and takes real actions on your behalf, right where you're working.

What it can do

• Summarize any page — articles, reports, dashboards, emails, in seconds
• Smart browsing and browser automation — let Dume navigate, fill forms, and take actions across tabs
• Tab organization — tame a chaotic browser session with one command
• Multi-tab research — gather and synthesize information across multiple sources at once
• Semantic history search — find any page you've visited by describing what you remember, not just by URL
• Right-click context menu — highlight any text or image for instant explanations, simplifications, or translations
• Draft and send follow-ups — in Gmail, Notion, Slack — without copy-pasting anything

How it works

1. Add Dume to Chrome — install from the Chrome Web Store in under 10 seconds
2. Connect your workspace — link Gmail, Calendar, Notion, Slack, and other tools via OAuth (Dume never sees your passwords)
3. Start automating — type any command in plain English from the side panel or right-click menu

Your data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Dume has a strict no-training policy — your personal data is never used to train AI models.
