Plain-English browser control
Users describe goals in natural language; Oasis selects browser tools (tabs, windows, search, groups, split view, page summarize, etc.) instead of expecting slash commands.
What this is
Describe what you want in plain English. Oasis maps your request to browser tools (tabs, windows, web search, tab groups, split view, summarize page, history search, etc.) instead of requiring slash commands.
How to use it
- Name the outcome: “Open Wikipedia in a new tab,” “Summarize this page,” “What tabs do I have?”
- Mention constraints: “only pinned tabs,” “without closing my email tab.”
- If the assistant mis-routes, correct it in the next message with more context.
Notes and limits
Privileged pages and PDFs may limit what tools can see; try a normal HTML page.

Assistant themes
Multiple light and dark themes for the assistant chrome (not only system theme); choice syncs via prefs / bridge.
Busy / streaming state
Visual feedback while the model or tools are working (AssistantBusyBar, streaming into the timeline).
