MaxAI

What it does

MaxAI adds an AI sidebar and a right-click menu to Chrome so you can ask about the page you are reading, search the web with AI or rework selected text. It is aimed at people who read, write and reply to messages online throughout the day.

Key features

• Sidebar chat for questions about the current webpage, such as summaries or finding details
• Context menu on selected text to improve wording, translate, explain or answer it
• Questions about your own uploaded files as well as open pages
• AI web search and drafted replies for emails, social posts and messages

Use cases

• Getting a quick summary of a long article before deciding to read it in full
• Rewriting or translating a paragraph in place while composing an email
• Drafting a reply to a message thread without opening a separate chat site

Getting started

After installing, open the sidebar to ask about the page in front of you, or highlight text anywhere and pick an action from the AI context menu.

Good to know

Page content and selected text are sent to AI models to produce answers. Check its Chrome Web Store page for current terms.
