Side Panel for Gemini

What it does

Side Panel for Gemini opens Google's Gemini assistant in Chrome's built-in side panel so you can ask questions next to the page you are reading. It suits Gemini users who are tired of switching between tabs to reach the chatbot.

Key features

• Shows Gemini in Chrome's side panel alongside any website
• One-click access to Gemini from the toolbar
• Lets you change the extension's toolbar icon
• Supports microphone input once you allow it in site settings

Use cases

• Asking Gemini about something on the page without leaving it
• Keeping a chat with Gemini open while researching across tabs

Getting started

After installing, click the extension icon to open Gemini in the side panel and sign in with your Google account if prompted.

Good to know

It is an independent extension that loads Gemini, not an official Google product, and you need access to Gemini with your Google account. Voice input requires enabling the microphone in the extension's site settings.
