Embedded AI activity detection measures time spent using AI features inside everyday websites that aren’t AI tools themselves, such as Gemini in Google Docs or Copilot in Microsoft 365. This data appears in the AI Insights dashboards. Detection runs through the ActivTrak Assist browser extension, which works alongside the ActivTrak Windows Agent.

Verify it’s working
- Confirm the extension appears on the browser’s extensions page.
- Allow the extension to run in Incognito or private windows. It doesn’t run there by default.
- Data refreshes overnight. Check AI Insights the next day.
- The Embedded option in the AI Activity Type filter appears after at least one user has embedded activity and all other requirements have been met.
