Ask anything about the page you're viewing.

Ask AI lives in Chrome's side panel. It reads the current webpage and answers questions about it — summarize, explain, rewrite, translate, or dig into code, with the page context added automatically.

A reading & research copilot, built into the browser

Made for long-form web content — articles, documentation, technical references, and business pages.

Reads the page for you

Extracts the readable text of the current tab and uses it as context — no copy-pasting articles, docs, or GitHub pages.

Side-panel, per tab

Opens in Chrome's side panel with its own session per tab, so switching pages never mixes conversations.

Quick actions

One click to summarize, explain, rewrite, translate, simplify, or explain code — on the full page, a selection, or pasted text.

Bring your own key

Use your own OpenAI or OpenRouter key. OpenRouter also unlocks Claude, Gemini, and more model families through one key.

Local-first & private

Keys and chat history are stored locally. Page content is only sent when you ask. Exclude sites or disable history anytime.

Your models, your way

Choose default providers and models, favorite the ones you use, hide the rest. Streamed responses you can stop mid-answer.

Plug in your OpenAI or OpenRouter key. OpenRouter routes unlock extra model families — Claude, Gemini, and more — through a single key.
