All-in-one AI assistant across web, browser, desktop and mobile
Chat with a rotating roster of leading LLMs from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google and others, switching models per task without separate subscriptions.
Works on Chrome and Edge to summarize pages and YouTube videos, explain or translate selected text, and assist with writing directly inside any web page.
Rewrite, humanize or generate text, get full-page bilingual translation, and chat with or translate PDF documents.
Create images, convert image-to-image, animate stills, remove backgrounds or watermarks, and generate logos and avatars.
Read and chat with PDFs right beside ChatGPT, Claude and DeepSeek.
PDFs render directly in the sidebar next to the chat, so your document and the AI conversation are visible at the same time.
Summarize a whole document, translate it, or have passages explained in simpler terms using the AI you are already signed into.
Built-in buttons cover the common actions, and you can edit their prompts to make the AI respond in the format and tone you need.
Ask about charts, scans or regions that cannot be selected by taking a screenshot question instead.
