Introducing WebBrain — an AI browser agent for Edge, and a question about merchandising #649

Hi Edge extensions team,

I'd like to introduce WebBrain, an AI-powered browser agent extension we recently published on Microsoft Edge Add-ons, and ask about merchandising opportunities.

What WebBrain does

WebBrain turns Edge into an active assistant. Instead of manually clicking through repetitive workflows, users describe what they want and WebBrain executes it on real websites — reading pages, filling forms, navigating dashboards, summarizing content, and automating multi-step tasks — using the user's existing logged-in browser session.

Main use cases

  • Research and summarization — open articles, READMEs, docs, and PDFs and produce concise summaries or answer questions about them.
  • Form filling and account setup — sign up for services, fill multi-field forms, complete onboarding flows.
  • Workflow automation — post releases on GitHub, send emails, create Notion pages, manage Trello/Linear boards, run recurring checks.
  • Shopping and travel — compare products across sites, find flights, track prices.
  • Media handling — download public images/videos from social platforms with a single command.
  • Memory and continuity — remember user preferences, project context, and prior actions across sessions.

Permissions and access

WebBrain requires access to all websites the user navigates to (it acts as a general-purpose browser agent), the user's authenticated sessions on those sites (GitHub, Gmail, Google Workspace, Notion, Stripe, banking, internal tools, etc.), and chrome.storage / chrome.permissions to persist user preferences and per-site allow/deny lists. No background data exfiltration — all actions are visible to the user and require explicit confirmation for sensitive operations (payments, deletions, public posts).

Question for the team

Chrome Web Store has a "Featured" badge and "Editors' Picks" collection curated by their editors, and they accept nominations through their One Stop Support form. I noticed Microsoft Edge Add-ons doesn't appear to have a public nomination/merchandising process — is there an equivalent? Specifically:

  1. Does the Edge Add-ons team curate featured or highlighted collections, and if so, how can developers get on the radar?
  2. Is there a recommended channel (this repo's Discussions, Issues, Partner Center support, or something else) for introducing a new extension and asking about merchandising?
  3. Are there any current programs (e.g., editorial picks, seasonal collections, AI-themed collections) that WebBrain might be a good fit for?

Happy to share more details, screenshots, or a demo link if helpful. Thanks for your time!
