How can you use AI on any page open in your browser?

AI beside the page in front of you

You are reading a long article, watching an hour-long YouTube video, or comparing three products in three tabs. Normally, you would copy the text, go to ChatGPT, and paste it. Extensions remove that step: AI opens beside the page and reads its contents, and you ask it directly.

Available extensions

Extension	What it does
ChatGPT for Chrome	A sidebar chat that reads the tab you have open. You can ask it about an open YouTube video.
Claude in Chrome	Reads the page and can also navigate, click, and fill in fields for you with your permission.
Gemini in Chrome	Built into Chrome itself: the Ask Gemini button opens a sidebar that answers questions about this tab and other open tabs. Gemini Live lets you talk about the page using your voice.

Install the ChatGPT or Claude extension from the Chrome Web Store and sign in to your account. Gemini is available in Chrome without installing anything: click Ask Gemini at the top and type your question, or click Live and speak.

What you can use them for

A long article: “Summarize this article in 5 points and tell me which part is relevant to my work.”
A YouTube video: “How does this video show you how to do this? Write the steps in order.”
A comparison: Open three products in three tabs and ask, “Compare their prices and features in a table.”
Replying to a message: With your email open, “Write a short, polite reply to this message.”
Understanding a difficult page: For terms of service or regulations, “What are the 3 most important things I need to know here?”

A question about the open page

Copy the prompt as it is, or tailor it with your details first.

Tailor the prompt to your workOptional: add your details and the prompt adjusts itself

Who you areWhat I needNumberAction you will take

View full prompt

Read the open page. I am [who you are], and I need [what I need] from it. Summarize what is relevant to me in [number] points, and tell me if there is anything on the page I should pay attention to before [action you will take].

If you are missing information that would change the result, ask me first.
Before you deliver: if information is not in the sources, say so and do not fill it in yourself.

When it acts for you on the page

Claude in Chrome and features such as automated browsing let it take steps itself: search, fill out a form, and click buttons. Start with something simple, such as “Find the application dates on this website and write them down for me,” and watch it as it works.

Summarize a video instead of watching it all

Install one extension, open a long tutorial video on YouTube, and ask about its steps. Then watch one section yourself and compare.
