• Use command prefixes: "take control of my browser" for automation

• Reference tabs: "@tab-name" for specific content

• Structure requests clearly for better results

Workflow Optimization

• Group related research tabs before analysis

• Use descriptive tab names for AI recognition

• Leverage voice mode during multitasking

• Set up recurring tasks for routine activities
