Keeps URLs attached to highlights automatically.
Clean sidebar workflow for research clipping.
Wish it had cloud sync across devices.
Lost my drafts when chrome updated.
AI-synthesized perspectives grounded in live site inspection, pricing structure, and category benchmarks — presented as editorial viewpoints rather than individual customer testimonials.
Highlighting text on a page copies the selection and automatically includes the URL it came from, keeping quotes traceable.
Supports the usual Ctrl+C / Ctrl+V shortcuts and accepts pasted screenshots, so images and charts can be collected alongside text.
Two built-in tags let you mark entries that need lookup or verification, with comments attached for later review.
The draft lives in the Chrome side panel, so your material stays visible while you browse and move between tabs.
Prepared, annotated text can be dropped into whichever AI assistant you prefer for summarizing, rewriting or analysis.
VAIUE is aimed at professionals, researchers and learners who work with large volumes of material and constantly move text between a browser, a note pad and an AI tool. Instead of switching tabs and losing track of where a quote came from, the extension keeps a persistent draft panel docked to the side of the browser window.
The core workflow is deliberately simple. Highlight text with the mouse and copy it, and the extension appends the page's source URL at the same time, so collected snippets stay traceable. Standard clipboard shortcuts work as expected, and the panel also accepts pasted screenshots, which is handy when an answer lives in an image or a chart rather than in selectable text.
Beyond plain capture, the draft supports two special tags, Keyword and To check. Clicking a tag lets you attach a comment, turning the panel into a light review queue: you can flag statements you want to verify later, or terms you need to look up, then work through them in one pass. It is a companion for preparing input, not a generator itself, so it pairs with whichever AI assistant you already use. Free to install from the Chrome Web Store.
Collect quotes from papers and articles with their URLs attached, tag claims that need checking, and export a clean evidence list.
Gather data points, chart screenshots and definitions in the side panel while reading, then hand the annotated draft to an AI assistant.
Mark unfamiliar terms with the Keyword tag and paste diagrams as images while reading course material online.
Keep findings from many tabs in one persistent panel and annotate them as you go, instead of losing track of sources.
