AI sidebar and browser agent for reading, writing and research
A persistent panel that reads the page you are on and answers follow-ups with GPT, Claude or Gemini without copying content into another tab.
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.
The best frontend for AI.
Plug in ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and other LLM APIs and switch between them in a single interface, comparing responses side by side.
Bring your own keys and pay only for actual usage — Typing Mind is sold as a license rather than a recurring subscription.
Chat history and settings are stored locally in your browser, with no data collection or use for model training by the app.
Build custom AI agents, chain prompts, add training files, connect live APIs and extend functionality through a plugin library.
