Setup & support

Open Swarm Orbit
Browser.

Let your Orbit companion help with requested tasks in the browser you already use.

What it does.

When you enable computer control in Orbit and request a task through your authorized Swarm workspace, the add-on can list and navigate tabs, read visible page content, click controls, enter text, and scroll. It uses the accounts already signed in to that browser.

What you need.

The add-on requires the Open Swarm Orbit companion version 0.7 or later on Windows or Linux, a supported Chrome or Edge browser, and an authorized Swarm workspace. The browser add-on alone does not install a workspace server or the Orbit companion. Use the companion installer supplied by your workspace operator.

Connect your browser.

  1. Install and open Open Swarm Orbit on this computer.
  2. Open Computer setup, enter your workspace address, and sign in.
  3. Read the control disclosure and choose Allow control of this computer when you want Orbit to carry out your requests.
  4. Choose Connect browser and follow the browser’s add-on confirmation. A Linux package may already have registered the included add-on.
  5. Keep Orbit open. Its private helper pairs this browser automatically; you do not need to copy a connection code. Finish setup after Orbit confirms the browser connection.

If the browser does not connect.

Check that Orbit is open and computer control is enabled. Open the Orbit Browser add-on and choose Connect this browser. If it says the helper is unavailable, reopen Orbit and its Computer setup, then restart the browser. Only one browser profile can connect to Orbit at a time; disconnect the other profile before reconnecting here.

If a task cannot click or type.

Orbit works on ordinary HTTP and HTTPS pages. Browser settings pages, store pages, some embedded frames, and browser or operating-system dialogs can require the computer’s desktop controls. Keep this computer unlocked and complete any password, MFA, or CAPTCHA step that requires your participation, then resume the task.

Confirm a form beside the page.

Use Orbit Browser 0.7.3 or later. When Jarvis proposes filling or sending a form, review the fields in the docked conversation and choose Fill, Send, Fill and send, or Not now as offered. Passwords, verification codes, and payment details require your own interaction. A browser conversation needs the add-on connected in that browser profile to use its page controls.

Disconnect or remove it.

Choose Disconnect this browser in the add-on, turn off computer control in Orbit, or remove the add-on through your browser’s extension settings.

Android, Fire TV and Chromebook tablets.

The Android Orbit app is separate from the desktop companion and browser add-on. It needs an Android runtime supported by that release; not every Chromebook or tablet supports the APK. Use the build supplied by your workspace operator. Let Jarvis control this device and Android’s Accessibility settings govern screen and touch access. Ambient listening has its own switch.

If Google Play Protect identifies Orbit as harmful, record the installed app version and the exact warning, then contact your workspace operator or the software support address below. A high level of device access does not establish why Google classified an app. Keep Play Protect enabled; software support can investigate the affected build and use Google’s classification review process when appropriate.

Data and privacy.

Requested page content and action results go to your authorized workspace and may be processed by the AI provider selected for the task. Read the Orbit Browser privacy disclosure for data types, storage, sharing, and deletion choices.

Get help.

For workspace addresses, account access, or stored workspace records, contact your workspace operator. For an Orbit software problem, email maintainer@emeraldcoastsystemsgroup.com. Include your operating system, Orbit version, browser version, and the visible error message. Keep passwords and private connection codes out of the report.
