Motivation

I want to use Goose CLI as a local AI provider in Firefox’s AI Chat sidebar.
While the integration works (Goose can be added as a custom provider), it currently does not receive contextual information from the webpage.

This limits the usefulness of Goose in the browser, as it cannot respond based on the current page content — unlike other AI providers.

Example use case:
Ask Goose: “Summarize this page” or “Explain the selected paragraph” directly in the sidebar, without copy-pasting text.

Proposed Solution

Add support in Goose CLI (and/or its web interface) for contextual requests from Firefox’s AI sidebar, similar to how OpenWebUI implements it.

Additional Context

• Goose CLI version: 1.12.0
• Firefox version: 144.0
• Reference: [OpenWebUI Firefox Sidebar Integration](https://docs.openwebui.com/tutorials/integrations/firefox-sidebar/)

Would love to see Goose support contextual integration for a smoother browser experience!
