Pathlight

AI task guidance for any website — ask what you want to do and get exact step-by-step help.

Pathlight is an AI-powered side panel that reads any webpage and helps you complete tasks — step by step. HOW IT WORKS ━━━━━━━━━━━━ Open the Pathlight panel, ask your question in plain English, and watch as the exact button, link, or field you need gets highlighted on screen. For multi-step tasks, tap "What's next?" and Pathlight walks you through to the end. FEATURES ━━━━━━━━ • Reads the real page — answers based on what's actually on screen, not generic help docs • Spotlight overlay — dims the page and highlights exactly what to click • Step-by-step guidance — breaks complex tasks into numbered steps • Works on any website — GitHub, banking portals, enterprise tools, e-commerce, anything • SPA-aware — detects page navigation and refreshes automatically • Privacy controls — toggle off page text sending; only structural metadata is required PRIVACY ━━━━━━━ Pathlight does not require an account. No tracking, no ads, no analytics. Page text is optional and off by default.
