TabMate for research and work that spans across multiple tabs

Use TabMate when you find yourself constantly context swtiching and copy-pasting information scattered across tab. Stop drowning in too many pages, too little shared context, and too much work restarting from scratch.

A good fit for analysts, operators, consultants, and anyone doing browser-based research that needs to stay grounded over time.

The Problem

The browser usually already has the raw material. The hard part is keeping the useful sources, notes, and next steps connected long enough to reuse them.

The browser holds the evidence but not the workflow

Useful pages, quotes, and open questions are easy to collect and hard to keep organized once the tabs keep moving.

Follow-up work breaks away from the source

The notes and drafts become less trustworthy when you cannot quickly see the page evidence that supported them.

Session-to-session momentum disappears

Without saved context, each new pass means rebuilding the same picture instead of extending the work you already did.

How TabMate helps this research stay grounded

TabMate lets you keep the page evidence, your saved notes, and the reusable workflow in the same place while the work continues. You build your knowledge as you browse.

Ask from the current page and selected text

Ground questions in the page you are reading instead of relying on a generic prompt and memory.

Save the important excerpts and follow-ups

Keep the evidence, notes, and next-step prompts in the same workspace so the workflow remains usable later.

Separate distinct projects into different workspaces

Keep each research thread scoped to its own context instead of letting unrelated notes blend together.

Reuse starter kits for repeatable analysis work

Start recurring jobs like comparison, decision support, and synthesis from a cleaner base.

Automate page tasks with agent mode

Use agent mode to click, fill, scroll, and extract across the page automatically so routine research actions do not interrupt the thinking flow.

Some general use cases

When research spreads across tabs, TabMate helps keep the useful parts connected.

Compare products before choosing one

Build a decision memo from saved sources

Combine notes from articles, docs, and web pages

Pick up yesterday’s research with context still attached

One workflow for different kinds of work

No matter what kind of research you do, the core flow stays the same.

Ask from the page you are already reading

Keep the question tied to the current tab or selected text so research starts from evidence instead of memory.

How your data is handled

TabMate uses the current page as evidence for your questions. That means being clear about what it reads, what it stores, and what you can delete.

What we read

TabMate is built around the page you are working in. It captures page context for the product workflows you use and does not passively scan background tabs or browsing history.

What we store

Your notes, excerpts, summaries, conversations, prompts, memories, and related workspace content are stored in your account so work can continue across sessions. Requests that generate responses are also sent through an LLM API provider.

What you control

You can delete individual notes, clear workspace content, or delete your account at any time from the account settings. Captured text lives in your workspace, not in a shared pool.
