What it does

Key features
- Sidebar chat with Gemini beside any webpage
- Screenshot input so you can ask about what is on screen
- Google search integration and an image generation model
- Custom rules and an auto read function, with model choice in the options page
Use cases
- Asking about a chart or section of a page by sending a screenshot
- Generating an image idea without leaving the current tab
Getting started
Add your Gemini API key and choose a model in the options page, then open the sidebar to start chatting.
Good to know
