The Ontoic Chrome extension puts your knowledge graph next to every page you visit. Open the side panel to see how a page connects to what you already know, then capture it with a single click — the meaningful content is extracted, embedded in the context of your graph, and linked to related nodes automatically.

​
Install

Find the extension on the Chrome Web Store and follow the steps below to get started.
1

Add the extension to Chrome

On the Chrome Web Store listing, click Add to Chrome, then confirm by clicking Add extension in the dialog that appears.
2

Sign in to your Ontoic account

After installation, click the Ontoic icon in your Chrome toolbar. If you are not already signed in, you will be prompted to log in to your Ontoic account. The extension uses your session to authenticate with the Ontoic API.
3

Open the side panel

Once signed in, the Ontoic side panel opens automatically alongside your active tab. You will see your graph summary and a preview of related nodes. The panel remains available as you browse.

​
Capturing a page

1

Navigate to the page you want to capture

Open any article, documentation page, blog post, or other web content in Chrome.
2

Open the Ontoic side panel

Click the Ontoic icon in the Chrome toolbar, or use Chrome’s built-in side panel button, to open the Ontoic panel alongside the page.
3

Click Capture

Press the Capture button in the side panel. Ontoic extracts the meaningful content from the active page, runs it through the ingestion pipeline, and adds it to your graph as a new node — connected to related nodes automatically.

​
Side panel

The side panel is always available while you browse. It gives you a live view of your knowledge graph in context:
  • Graph summary — a snapshot of your graph’s current state and recent activity.
  • Related nodes — nodes in your graph that are semantically connected to the page you are currently reading, surfaced automatically without any search input.
Use the side panel to spot connections between new content and what you already know before you decide whether to capture.

​
Permissions

The extension requests the following permissions. Each one is used for a specific purpose — nothing more.
Allows the extension to render the Ontoic interface in Chrome’s native side panel. This is how the graph summary and related nodes appear alongside the page you are reading without opening a new tab or window.
Allows the extension to read the URL and title of the active tab. Ontoic uses this to identify the page you are capturing so it can be stored and linked correctly in your graph.
Grants temporary access to the tab you are currently viewing, only when you interact with the extension. This is how the extension reads the page content when you press Capture — it does not have access to any other open tabs.
Allows the extension to run a content script on the active page at the moment of capture. The script extracts the meaningful text and structure from the page. It runs only when you explicitly trigger a capture.
Allows the extension to save lightweight local state — such as your preferences and cached graph summary — so the side panel loads quickly and works consistently between sessions.
Allows the extension to read the Ontoic __session cookie to authenticate requests to the Ontoic API on your behalf. No other cookies are accessed or transmitted.
Ontoic does not passively monitor your browsing. The extension never reads page content in the background. Content is captured only when you explicitly press the Capture button — nothing is sent to Ontoic without your direct action.
