Summarise long articles, PDFs and YouTube videos, extract key points, and ask detailed questions about the source material.
Translate webpages, PDFs and images, compare bilingual output side by side, and have content read aloud for review on the move.
Delegate multi-step tasks across real websites — price comparison, form filling, research and inbox triage — using your existing logged-in sessions.
