## FAQ

### Can I watch what the agent is doing?

Yes, a visible cursor slides to each target with action labels, and each agent is assigned its own color and tab group.

### Does the agent steal my focus while working?

No, the agent operates in background tabs so you can continue your work uninterrupted.

### How does the agent interact with web pages?

It uses chrome.debugger to ensure clicks and keystrokes are processed by pages exactly as they would be by a human.
