YourStasis Tutorial

Install the Chrome extension, choose where enrichment runs, capture one public page, review the resulting row, and export it without losing control of the data.

Step 1

Install and pin the Chrome extension

  1. Use the Chrome Web Store listing when it becomes available. During beta, download the validated YourStasis v0.1.56 for Chrome.
  2. Unzip the download into a stable folder that you will not delete after loading it.
  3. Open chrome://extensions, enable Developer mode, click Load unpacked, and select the folder containing manifest.json.
  4. Pin YourStasis from Chrome's Extensions menu.
Unpacked updates: Chrome's Update button does not download a new GitHub build. Extract a newer release over the same stable folder, then click Reload on the extension card.

Step 2

Choose where enrichment runs

Open the side panel and select the setup mode that matches your privacy and model-cost needs. You can change this later in Settings.

  • Hosted account: recommended for account history across surfaces.
  • Bring your own key: use the hosted API with your own OpenRouter or OpenAI-compatible provider key.
  • Local / Ollama: run the YourStasis API and model endpoint on your machine.

Setup keeps hosted account, BYOK, and local paths explicit.

Run the preflight before spending model credits

Click Run preflight. It checks API access, provider configuration, account history, Google export, and Push to API without enrichment, model generation, OAuth, export delivery, or account persistence. Use Copy setup report when support needs a redacted diagnostic.

Step 3

Capture one page you chose

  1. Open a public article, tool, product page, Google Doc, or Google Sheet.
  2. Open YourStasis and click Summarize current tab.
  3. For keyboard capture, open chrome://extensions/shortcuts and assign the current-tab command. The recommended Chrome-managed shortcut is Ctrl+Shift+Y on Windows or Command+Shift+Y on macOS.
When a shortcut is intercepted: Ctrl+Alt+Z is a best-effort page listener. Google Docs, Google Sheets, and protected pages can consume it first. Use the pinned icon, context menu, or Summarize current tab button as the reliable fallback.

The exact captured URL remains visible in the Enrich table.

Step 4

Review the row before using it

Double-click a cell to correct it. Select a different Prompt when the output needs a different schema, such as a job, movie, event, product, book, podcast, recipe, travel place, or research paper.

If pricing, type, or context is weak, click Redo, describe the problem, and choose Low, Medium, or High effort. High is intended for the hardest research and can cost more with hosted providers.

Step 5

Select, copy, or export the reviewed rows

  1. Select one or more rows, or leave all rows unselected to use the full preview.
  2. Turn Headers on when the destination needs a header row.
  3. Choose TSV for spreadsheet paste or Markdown for a readable text table.
  4. Open Export for CSV, Excel, JSON, NDJSON, explicit API delivery, account save, Google Sheets, or Google Docs.
Export destinations for files, API, account, Google Sheets, and Google Docs
Exports preserve the active Prompt's columns and current row selection.

Step 6

Use Logs and Setup when something fails

Logs shows the source, time, and bounded error details for capture and enrichment. Select only the entries needed for a report, then copy them after checking that private page content is not included.

Ready for the next resource

Keep the side panel open while researching, or close it and return later. Extension storage retains the local workspace until you clear it or remove the extension.
