Monica

What it does

Monica adds an AI sidebar to Chrome that opens with a keyboard shortcut and lets you chat with several language models in one place. It suits people who want help searching, reading, writing, translating and creating content without leaving the page they are on.

Key features

• Opens a sidebar assistant with Cmd/Ctrl + M on any web page
• Lets you switch between chat models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google and others in one window
• Agent and browser-operator modes that can carry out multi-step tasks across websites
• Deep research mode that compiles longer reports on a topic
• Prompt library you can call up by typing a slash in the chat box

Use cases

• Summarizing or translating an article without copying it into another tab
• Drafting slides or a research brief from a rough idea
• Comparing how different chat models answer the same question

Getting started

After installing, press Cmd/Ctrl + M to open the sidebar and start chatting about the current page. Choose a model and reach saved prompts by typing a slash.

Good to know

Page content you ask about is sent to Monica's AI services for processing. Agent features that control the browser act on your behalf, so check what they do before letting them run on sensitive sites.
