Wisp Browser Bridge
Wisp connects webpage actions in Chrome or Edge to Nephele: finding references, clipping images, reading platform data and filling publishing drafts.
Sign in to platforms in your own browser when needed. Wisp uses that session; websites can still request verification or restrict access. Resolve prompts in the browser before continuing.
What it powers
| Feature | What Wisp does for it |
|---|---|
| Find References | Pinterest / ArtStation / Huaban are collected through Wisp |
| Data Center | Pulls views, likes, followers, and other stats back from the creator dashboards you're logged into |
Without Wisp connected, these features degrade or become unavailable (for example, Find References runs cloud sources only).
How to enable it
- Use Edge or Chrome — Edge is recommended; the extension bridge is most stable on Edge
- Install and enable the Nephele Wisp extension — follow the in-app guide to install it, then open your browser's extension management page (such as
edge://extensions/) and confirm it's enabled - The bridge registers automatically — when Nephele is installed or first launched, it automatically sets up the communication channel between the browser and the app; you usually don't need to do anything by hand
Info
Check the connection status via the Wisp indicator in the sidebar: brand purple = connected, gray = not connected. Before you need any of the features above, make sure it's lit up.
How to tell it's connected
- The sidebar Wisp status reads "Connected"
- In the System Self-Check, the "Wisp Extension Bridge" item shows as ready
If it stays gray, the common causes are: the browser isn't open, the extension is disabled, or the bridge failed to register. The self-check offers a one-click fix for "Wisp bridge not registered" (after re-registering, just restart the browser once).
Things to keep in mind
- The browser has to be open — Wisp does its work inside your browser, so it can't run if the browser isn't running
- You need to be logged into the target platform — Wisp reuses the existing login state in your browser; it can't read platforms you aren't logged into
- International connectivity — whether sites like Pinterest / ArtStation / Huaban are reachable depends on your network environment
- First connection has a cold start — the handshake takes a few seconds right after you open the browser, so the first call may need a moment
Tip
Wisp only borrows the browser when needed; it doesn't stay resident browsing on your behalf, and it doesn't read data in your browser that's unrelated to the feature at hand.
Next steps
- Find References — the reference sources Wisp takes over live here
- Data Center — pulls creation stats back via Wisp
Clip images and import boards
- Web clipping: save an image from its context menu, or capture a full page.
- Pinterest / Huaban board import: collect images from a board URL and import them together.
- Commission management: read orders from supported logged-in platforms and manage them with private commissions.
Wisp uses your browser session, but sites can still require sign-in, verification or restrict access. Resolve those prompts in the browser before continuing.
