Why it’s useful
- It works where the questionnaire is. Vendor portals, plain web forms, Google Forms and Google Sheets — no export/import round trip.
- It drafts from what you’ve already written. Answers come from your organization’s policies and prior answers, not from generic boilerplate.
- Nothing is inserted without you. Every draft is editable and every insertion is an explicit action.
- It tells you when it doesn’t know. Questions with no supporting material are flagged Needs review rather than answered with a guess.
Install
- Install Comp AI Security Questionnaire from the Chrome Web Store.
- Pin it to your toolbar so the icon is always visible.
- Click the Comp AI icon and choose Sign in. If you’re already signed in to Comp AI in this browser, the extension uses that session.
Answering a questionnaire
- Open the questionnaire in your browser.
- Click the Comp AI icon, then Open review panel. Every question the extension detected is listed there.
- The first time you use the extension on a new site, confirm which Comp AI workspace applies. This keeps answers from one customer’s workspace out of another’s.
- Choose Generate for a single question, or Generate all.
- Review each draft. Edit anything you want to change, then Approve it (or Approve all).
- Choose Insert approved to write your approved answers back into the page.
Generating again over the whole list will not overwrite answers you have
edited or approved. To replace one of those, regenerate that specific
question. To clear the list and begin again, use Start over.
Answering one question on the page
Click into an answer field. If the extension recognizes the question, a small Comp AI button appears in the field’s corner. Click it to draft an answer, edit it if you like, then choose Insert. The button only shows in the field you’re in, so the page doesn’t fill up with buttons.Google Sheets
When a questionnaire arrives as a spreadsheet, the extension asks which columns to use — a question column and an answer column, plus the row range. Confirm the mapping once and it is remembered for that sheet. Approved answers are then written into the answer column, in the rows the questions came from. The first time, Google asks you to allow Comp AI to edit the spreadsheet; once you allow it, Insert into sheet fills the cells for you. If you decline, or Google can’t be reached, the extension walks you through pasting the answers instead.While Google finishes reviewing the app, it may show a warning that the app
isn’t verified. Allowing access lets Comp AI read and edit your Google
Sheets. The extension only uses it on the sheet you have open, when you
insert: it reads the question column to find the right rows, writes your
approved answers into the answer column, and turns on text wrapping in those
cells. To allow it, choose Advanced, then Go to Comp AI. If you’d
rather not, go back: you can still paste the answers in yourself.
Google Forms and Google Docs
Google Forms works like any other web form: click into an answer field and a Comp AI button appears in its corner. Approved answers are inserted directly. Google Docs does not support reliable automated insertion, so the extension collects your approved answers and copies them to the clipboard for you to paste in.Switching workspaces
The active workspace is shown at the top of the side panel. If you switch it, or sign in as someone else, every answer in the panel is cleared and you will be asked to confirm the site again. Answers you already inserted into the page stay there. This is deliberate — it prevents one organization’s answers from being pasted into another organization’s questionnaire.Permissions
The extension asks for access to the websites you visit. Security questionnaires are hosted on many different vendor domains and there is no fixed list to allow, so it needs to be able to look at the page you open. In practice:- It examines pages to locate questionnaire fields. You can turn this off for any site with Detect questions in the extension menu.
- The only page content sent to Comp AI is the text of a question you ask it to answer.
- It does not send page contents or browsing history.
- Answers are written into the page only when you choose to insert them.
- For Google Sheets, it asks Google for permission to read and edit spreadsheets. That access stays in your browser and is used only on the sheet you have open, when you insert: to read the question column, write your approved answers into the answer column, and wrap the text in those cells.
