Chrome extension

It reads the page. It is not you.

What does the Cuvy Chrome extension actually do?

Cuvy is a Chrome extension that reads the LinkedIn, Sales Navigator or Recruiter page you already have open, and looks up a work email for each person on it. It never signs in as you, sends nothing from your account, and stores no password. Start a run and you can close the tab; the list finishes without you.

What it is

A reader, sitting in a tab you already had open

No second window, no browser running somewhere else, no account of its own.

Installed, it adds a small panel to LinkedIn. When you are on a search, it reads what that page is showing — who is on it, where they work, what they are called — and asks Cuvy to find an address for each of them. It opens no pages of its own, and on any tab that is not LinkedIn it is not running at all.

That is the entire extent of its involvement with your account. You are the one signed in. Nothing it does is an action LinkedIn would put against your name, because it never presses anything on your behalf.

The four nevers

What it does not do is the specification

Written flatly, because this is the part people are actually deciding on.

Sign-ins from our side
Cuvy holds no LinkedIn session and never opens one. The page it reads is the page your own signed-in browser has already drawn on your screen.
No credentials, anywhere
You are never asked for a LinkedIn password and there is nowhere to enter one. Nothing about that login is stored, because nothing about it is known.
Nothing sent from your account
No messages, no InMail, no connection requests, no follows, no saved leads. It reads; it does not act. Your account looks the same afterwards as it did before.
One site, and only while you are on it
The panel exists on LinkedIn, Sales Navigator and Recruiter. It does not read your other tabs, and it stops reading once you have gone somewhere else.
Pace

Slow in your browser, quick everywhere else

Two halves at two speeds, and only the slow half happens on your account.

  1. The panel appears on the results page

    It counts the people that page is showing and then waits. The number it would charge for is on the panel before you press anything.

    Nothing spent yet
  2. It reads down the page at a reading pace

    Unhurried and with pauses, the way somebody working through a list of candidates would. This is the only part that needs your browser to be open.

    Paced, not hammered
  3. Close the tab whenever you like

    Finding the addresses and checking them happens on our side rather than in the browser, so the run carries on without the tab. Shutting the laptop does not stop it either.

  4. Pick the finished list up in the web app

    Rows, sources, confidence and the export buttons are all at app.cuvy.io, and you are told when the run has finished.

Availability

It is not on the Chrome Web Store yet

There is no listing to link to, so the button at the top of this page does not say Add to Chrome. It creates a free account instead, and says so on its face. A button that promises an install and lands on a signup form is how a page loses the person who believed the rest of it.

When the listing is published, that same button changes to point at it — the site reads the store address at build time, so nothing here has to be rewritten for the day it appears. Until then the web app is the way in, and a CSV of names and companies gets you the same addresses with nothing installed. If you need to be running the extension before the listing exists, email support@cuvy.io and say so.

Questions

What people ask before they install it

Which browsers does it run in?

Chrome, and the browsers built on the same engine: Edge, Brave, Arc and Opera all take the same build. There is no Safari or Firefox version, because what is being installed is a Chromium extension rather than a website.

Does the panel change how LinkedIn looks or behaves?

It adds one panel and leaves the rest alone. Nothing on the page is hidden, rewritten or pressed, no buttons appear on a profile, and what a search returns is what LinkedIn returned. Switch the panel off and the page is the page it was.

What can the extension see while it is installed?

The LinkedIn, Sales Navigator and Recruiter pages you have open, and nothing else. It does not run on other sites, does not read your other tabs, and does not carry on reading LinkedIn while no run is going. What reaches Cuvy is the people you pointed it at — names, companies, titles — so that an address can be found for them.

Can I have runs going on two LinkedIn tabs at once?

Yes. Each panel reports on the run started from it and the web app shows both, drawing on the same workspace balance. If the two searches overlap, the person the first run found is not charged again by the second.

Can I use it on one profile instead of a whole search?

Yes. On a single profile the panel looks that one person up, at the same one credit a person costs anywhere else. It is the usual way people try it first: on somebody whose address they already know, to see whether the answer matches.

Our IT team allowlists extensions by store ID. Can they add Cuvy?

Not yet — an allowlist entry needs a Chrome Web Store listing and there is not one. When the listing goes live, its ID is what an administrator would add. If you are planning a managed rollout, email support@cuvy.io and we will tell you where that has got to.
