XTips

XTips is a lightweight Chrome extension that puts an AI assistant inside your browser. Branded as a 'super-powered AI study aid', it is built to help students and knowledge workers search, write and read more efficiently. It is described as an AI copilot powered by GPT-4o that can answer complex questions, write emails, read articles and search smartly, and it works on any page you visit rather than in a single dedicated app.

The extension groups its abilities into three broad areas: search, reading and writing. The search function aims to return smarter, more contextual answers than a plain keyword query; the reading function summarises and explains articles so long-form content becomes easier to digest; and the writing function helps draft emails, essays and other text. Together these cover the most common day-to-day knowledge tasks inside one small toolbar.

XTips is free to install from the Chrome Web Store and, at the time of review, had a 5.0 rating from a small user base of around two dozen users, last updated in June 2024. Its publisher handle is 'openaisylvia', which can look like an OpenAI affiliation, but XTips is an independent third-party extension and is not an official OpenAI product.
