AI Side Panel keeps your favourite AI assistants beside your work. ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot, DeepSeek and more run in one browser side panel, so a source page stays visible while you ask questions, explore ideas or write, and switching assistants no longer means switching away from what you were doing.
Document conversion can be tried with 3 successful conversions included, and Premium is a one-time purchase rather than a subscription: it removes the conversion-count limit, adds batches of up to 5 files and unlocks Conversation Hub, Privacy Mask and premium themes, while the 20 MB per-file limit still applies.

YOUR SERVICES, YOUR CHOICE
AI Side Panel does not include paid subscriptions to third-party AI services. Those services may require their own accounts and have their own usage limits.
When you insert or send content to an AI service, that service’s privacy policies apply. Privacy Mask helps reduce accidental disclosure but does not guarantee that every sensitive detail will be detected.
