What Browser Assistance Does
Browser Assistance gives you AI-powered answers about whatever you are looking at in your browser — without copying text into a separate tool, without switching tabs, and without losing context. Open the Lens popup, ask a question about the current page, and get an answer immediately.
The simplest use case is the most common: you are reading something and want to understand it better, faster, or from a different angle. Lens is there when you need it and invisible when you do not.
Who It Is For
Browser Assistance is for anyone who spends time reading, researching, or evaluating information on the web. It is used by content professionals who need quick summaries, business owners evaluating vendors and solutions, developers reading documentation, and marketing teams analysing competitor pages. If your work involves the browser, Lens makes that work faster.
How It Works
Beacon Lens installs as a browser extension that sits quietly until you need it. When you open the popup on any page, Lens reads the page content and is ready to assist.
You can ask questions in natural language: “What is this page about?”, “Summarise the pricing on this page”, “What are the key differences between these features?”, or “Explain this technical concept in simpler terms.” Lens processes the page content and your question together, producing answers that are grounded in what you are actually looking at.
Quick actions handle the most common tasks with a single click: summarise the page, extract key points, or simplify complex language. These are designed for speed — the tasks that come up constantly but are too small to justify opening a separate AI tool.
Lens also provides page analysis for more structured evaluation. Ask it to assess content quality, identify the target audience, or evaluate the page structure. This is particularly useful for content teams reviewing competitor pages or evaluating landing page effectiveness.
All processing happens through Digital Royalty’s API, using the same AI infrastructure that powers the rest of the Beacon suite. Responses are fast, contextual, and grounded in the actual page content — not generic answers from a language model that has not seen what you are looking at.
