# Install BonzAI+

BonzAI+ is a desktop browser extension. It works best in Chromium-based browsers that support extension side panels and local browser AI features.

## Install from a browser store

1. Open the official BonzAI+ store listing from [bonzai.sh](https://bonzai.sh).
2. Choose **Add to browser**.
3. Confirm the permissions shown by the browser.
4. Pin the BonzAI+ toolbar icon if you want one-click access.
5. Open the extension and allow its first model download when requested.

## Open the side panel

Click the round BonzAI+ toolbar icon. The assistant opens beside the current webpage, so you can keep reading or watching while using it.

## Capture on pages that were already open

Browsers cannot always inject a newly installed extension into tabs that existed before installation. Reload those tabs once. New tabs work normally.

## Permissions explained

* **Current page access** lets BonzAI+ identify text, images, and page context you deliberately capture.
* **Side panel access** keeps the assistant visible beside the page.
* **Tab or screen capture** is requested only when you start Live analysis.
* **Downloads** lets you save generated images and exported contribution packs.

BonzAI+ does not need a wallet for chat, capture, Live, Imagine, or private dataset work.

## Mobile browsers

Mobile browsers do not currently provide the same extension side-panel and local model environment as desktop Chromium browsers. Use BonzAI Web for the mobile-friendly product experience and return to BonzAI+ on a supported desktop browser.
