Chrome extension
Pocket Chat
Keeps an AI chat in a resizable mini window you can call up with a hotkey, so you can ask questions without leaving the page.
Check who publishes it and what it asks to access on its Chrome Web Store page before you install it.
What it does
Pocket Chat shows a chat assistant in a compact floating window on top of your work in Chrome, so you do not need an extra tab. It is for people who want quick access to an AI chat with a keyboard shortcut while keeping their current page visible.
Key features
- Opens the chat assistant in a compact floating window
- Launches from the toolbar icon or the Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+Y shortcut
- Remembers the window size and position for next time
- Pressing the shortcut again focuses the existing window instead of opening another
Use cases
- Asking a quick question while writing in another tab
- Keeping an AI chat visible beside a document you are reading
Getting started
Click the toolbar icon or press Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+Y to open the floating chat window, then resize and position it where you like.
Good to know
It is an independent tool and is not affiliated with OpenAI. You still need access to the chat service it opens.
