What is Ask AI Extension
Ask ai extension Instant AI help for anything you’re reading—right inside your browser
Highlight any text on the web and open a compact chat to get explanations, summaries, rewrites, translations, or follow-up answers—without switching tabs or copying/pasting. It’s a fast, lightweight way to understand and act on what you’re reading.
What it does Explain highlighted text: Get plain-English explanations of dense articles, legal jargon, research papers, or code.
Summarize & ask follow-ups: Turn long pages into quick takeaways, then ask clarifying questions in the same mini chat.
Rewrite & translate: Improve tone and clarity, draft replies, or translate a passage on the spot.
Works anywhere you read: Use it across blogs, docs, dashboards, forums, and more.

Why install it Stay in flow: No context switching. Right-click your selection and the chat pops up with your text preloaded.
Faster learning & research: Collapse complex topics into clear explanations and iterate with quick follow-ups.
Better writing, less effort: Polish emails and posts, or translate passages, all in seconds.
Lightweight by design: No clutter, no inbox—just a focused chat attached to what you’re doing.
How it works Highlight any text on a page.
Right-click and choose the extension from the menu (or use the toolbar button).
Chat in the popup: ask for an explanation, summary, rewrite, translation, or anything else.
Key details No saved conversations: Chats are intentionally ephemeral—when you close a conversation, it’s gone.
Free & Pro plans:
Free: Try the full experience with 20 conversations (total).
Pro: Essentially unlimited everyday use with a generous cap of 4,000 conversations per month.
Note: “Conversations” are full threads (with as many messages as you need) tied to a single prompt. Close it, and that conversation ends.
Great for Students and researchers making sense of complex sources
Professionals reading specs, reports, or contracts
Developers reviewing code snippets or API docs
Anyone who wants clearer, faster understanding while they browse
Privacy & permissions The extension does not store your conversations. They’re cleared when you close them.
Only the minimum permissions needed to show the chat and read your highlighted text are used.
Install it to turn any confusing page into a quick, interactive conversation—and keep your momentum while you work and learn.
