GoHighLevel just added a browser control feature that lets its AI take over your Chrome browser, go find prospects, grade their websites, and write the outreach emails for you. If you’re trying to learn GoHighLevel’s newest features, this is one of the biggest — here’s exactly how to turn it on and the prompt structure that made it find real leads, score them, and draft cold emails without me touching the keyboard.
What is GoHighLevel’s browser control feature?
Quick answer: browser control lets GoHighLevel’s AI assistant, ASKI, take over your Chrome browser to search, click, read pages, and take action across the open internet — not just inside your GoHighLevel account. In one run, it found local leads, scored their websites, checked reviews against competitors, and drafted cold emails on its own.
Here’s the thing: GoHighLevel’s AI assistant (they call it ASKI inside the platform) used to be limited to what it could do inside GoHighLevel itself. Browser control changes that. Once it’s set up, you give ASKI a plain-English instruction and it’ll actually open tabs, click around, read pages, and take action across the open internet — not just inside your account.
In the video I ran, it found local HVAC leads, scored their websites, checked their Google reviews against competitors, and then went into Gmail and drafted cold emails. Then I pushed it further into Canva to mock up social graphics. If you’ve been learning GoHighLevel and wondering what the AI layer is actually for beyond chatbots, this is the answer — it’s a researcher and assistant that can act, not just answer.
How do you set up the Lead Connector Chrome extension?
Before ASKI can control your browser, you need one piece of infrastructure: the Lead Connector Chrome extension.
Step 1: Install the extension
Go to the Chrome Web Store and search for the Lead Connector extension (GoHighLevel’s help documentation walks through this exact process — it’s literally titled the ASKI Elite Connector Chrome extension setup guide). Add it to Chrome like you would any extension.
Step 2: Turn the extension on
Once it’s installed, click your Chrome extensions menu (the puzzle piece icon), find Lead Connector in the list, and make sure it’s toggled on. This step trips people up — the extension can be installed but disabled, and if it’s disabled, ASKI has no way to reach your browser.
Step 3: Turn on ASKI in your account
Go into your GoHighLevel account — agency level or sub-account, either works — and confirm ASKI is turned on. Once it’s active, click into ASKI to give it a prompt.
What prompt structure actually gets results?
Quick answer: a good prompt names an industry, a geography, and a checklist of measurable red flags — like missing chat widgets, low review counts versus competitors, and slow site speed. That specificity is what turns a vague “find me leads” request into a scored, useful lead list.
This is the part most people get wrong. If you just tell ASKI “find me some leads,” you’ll get a vague, useless answer. The prompt needs specific criteria it can actually check for. Here’s close to the exact prompt that worked:
“I need you to use the new lead connector plugin, take over my browser, and find HVAC leads that are good candidates — meaning they have really bad websites, no chat features, poor reviews, or not enough reviews. Analyze their site, check it for chat and voice widgets, compare their Google review count to competitors, and run a site speed check.”
Notice what’s in there: an industry, a geography (it defaulted to my local area), and a checklist of measurable red flags — missing chat widgets, review count versus competitors, and site speed. That checklist is what turns “find leads” into something the AI can actually score against.
What happens after you hit enter?
Quick answer: once you submit the prompt, ASKI takes control of the browser — shown by a small arrow indicator — and works through its own kickoff plan, searching, opening tabs, and reading pages without further input. It returns a scored list of leads with specifics on what needs fixing.
Once you submit the prompt, your hands come off the keyboard. You’ll see a small arrow indicator showing the extension has taken control of the browser, and ASKI starts working through its own kickoff plan — searching, opening tabs, and reading pages on its own.
When it finished, it came back with a full list of leads, each with a site score, a review comparison against competitors, and a breakdown of what was “critical” to fix. It wasn’t a generic list — it was scored and specific.
Can it draft the outreach emails for you too?
Quick answer: yes — ASKI can open Gmail, find each prospect’s email address, and draft personalized cold emails referencing the real data it just pulled, saving them as drafts rather than sending them automatically.
Yes, and this is the part that’s actually useful for prospecting. After the lead list came back, I asked it to open Gmail and draft cold emails to each prospect, saved as drafts rather than sent.
It searched for each business’s email address, opened Gmail, and started writing — referencing the actual data it had just pulled. One email opened with something like “You have five stars, but only three reviews are visible — let’s fix that,” citing a real website score of 55 out of 100. It ended up creating four separate draft emails, each personalized to that lead’s specific weaknesses, without me writing a single line.
How far can you actually push this?
Quick answer: further than expected — beyond lead research and emails, ASKI built sample social graphics in Canva and drafted a document of blog post ideas for each prospect, turning a full afternoon of prospecting work into a mostly hands-off workflow.
Further than I expected. I asked it to build sample social media graphics in Canva for these same prospects — as a “look what we could do for you” sample to attach to outreach. It had to log into Canva, and it visibly fumbled a few times, opening multiple windows trying to figure out the interface. But it got there. I also asked for a Google document with potential blog post ideas for each lead, and it produced that too.
So add it up: lead research, scoring, drafted emails, and sample creative assets. That’s a prospecting workflow that normally eats a whole afternoon, running mostly on its own.
What’s the honest gotcha here?
Quick answer: browser control isn’t perfect outside GoHighLevel’s own ecosystem — it visibly struggled in Canva, needing a few tries to figure out the interface. Expect trial and error and review everything before sending it to a real prospect.
It’s not perfect end to end. When I pushed it into Canva — a tool it wasn’t originally built around — it visibly struggled, opening extra windows and taking a few tries before it figured out the interface. It got there, but it wasn’t instant or clean. If you’re going to use browser control outside GoHighLevel’s own ecosystem, expect some trial and error, and check its output before you send anything to a real prospect. It’s a fast first draft, not a finished product.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a paid plan to use GoHighLevel’s browser control?
You need ASKI turned on for your agency or account and the Lead Connector Chrome extension installed. Availability depends on your GoHighLevel plan, so check inside your account settings if you don’t see the option.
Does browser control work outside of GoHighLevel, like in Gmail or Canva?
Yes. Once the extension is active, ASKI can take over your browser broadly — it opened Gmail to draft emails and logged into Canva to build graphics in the same session, not just GoHighLevel’s own screens.
Will it send emails automatically without me checking them?
No, and you should keep it that way. In the prompt, specify that drafts should be saved rather than sent so you can review and personalize before anything goes out.
Is the browser control feature reliable for tools it wasn’t built for, like Canva?
It got the job done, but it stumbled first — opening extra windows and needing a few attempts to figure out the interface. Treat anything outside GoHighLevel’s native environment as a rough draft, not a final asset.
