One AI assistant that plugs ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini into every tab
Switch between GPT, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek, Mistral and Llama class models from a single interface instead of juggling separate subscriptions.
Summarize articles, YouTube videos, PDFs and documents in place, then ask follow-up questions grounded in that content.
Draft and reply to emails in Gmail, compose posts and comments for X and LinkedIn, and repurpose web pages or videos into blogs and articles.
Generate images from prompts using more than 20 image models and multiple aspect ratios for web and social output.
Collaborative inbox and email management for teams
Let multiple people work the same inbox with clear assignment, internal statuses, and visibility into who is answering what.
Discuss and prepare replies inside the email thread itself, so context stays attached and nobody is left out of the loop.
Turn any email into an assigned task and see what each teammate is working on today, tomorrow, and next week.
Automate repetitive routing, tagging, and follow-up with rules, rule templates, and workflow automations.
