Powered by Google Gemini, Gaia provides a stylish and non-intrusive sidebar to help you summarize articles, write code, translate languages, and analyze files—all while keeping your data strictly on your own machine.

🟢 Why Gaia AI? In a world of bloated extensions and privacy concerns, Gaia takes a different path. We believe AI should be a seamless part of your workflow, not a distraction. Gaia combines a minimalistic design with the raw power of Gemini’s latest models. The Gaia Difference: You use your own API key. This means no monthly subscriptions to us, higher rate limits, and full control over which models you use.

💪 Key Features:

👉 Smart Context: "Ask About This Website" Stop copying and pasting. Click the "Ask About This Website" button, and Gaia will instantly read the current page to answer questions, summarize long articles, or find specific data points for you.

👉 Dynamic Modes: Fast vs. Hard Thinking Fast Mode: Optimized for speed. Perfect for quick translations, definitions, or simple questions. Hard Thinking Mode: Need to solve a complex coding bug or write a deep research paper? Turn on Hard Thinking to trigger Gemini’s advanced reasoning capabilities for high-logic tasks.

👉 Chat with Files Upload documents or images directly into the chat. Gaia can analyze PDFs, explain complex charts, or extract text from images in seconds.

👉 100% Local History Your conversations are your business. Unlike other extensions, Gaia stores your entire chat history locally on your computer. Your data never touches our servers.

👉 Stylish & Minimalistic Designed to be beautiful and out of the way. Toggle between Dark and Light modes to match your browsing aesthetic. Gaia floats on the side of your screen, ready when you need it and invisible when you don’t.
