Docs/Using Chervil

Real-world actions

Sprig doesn't just answer — it opens maps, places calls, reads your PC, and browses real sites.

Chervil is an agentic browser: the pages Sprig composes can reach out into the real world. When a page includes a place, a phone number, or a live tool, Chervil turns it into a real action.

Maps and calls

When Sprig mentions a real place, it links it to Google Maps — one tap opens it in Maps. Phone numbers become one-tap call or send-to-phone actions. So a page like "the best tacos near me" isn't just a list; every spot is ready to open on a map or dial.

Live applets

Sprig can build small interactive tools right into a page — a calculator, a converter, a live clock, a lookup. These applets can even call back to Sprig for fresh data while you use them, so a page can stay live rather than frozen at the moment it was made.

Check my computer

Ask Sprig about your machine — "how much RAM do I have?", "what are my specs?", "when was Windows last updated?" — and it reads real values from your PC (platform, CPU, memory, disk, GPU, Windows edition and build, and more) and shows them on the page. It's read-only: Sprig reports what it finds, it doesn't change your settings.

Browsing real sites

Chervil is still a browser. Sprig can navigate to and open real websites when that's the best way to help — and you can browse normally too. Composed pages and the live web live side by side.

Reading what you give it

Attach a file to your message and Sprig works from it: images and PDFs on providers that support them (like Claude), and text files broadly. Great for "summarize this PDF" or "what's wrong with this screenshot?"
