MaxAI

MaxAI

MaxAI is a Chrome browser extension that adds an AI sidebar to any webpage you visit. Highlight text, open the sidebar, and summarize, translate, rewrite, explain, or ask questions about the page without copying content into a separate chat tab. The extension works on Chromium browsers like Chrome and Edge and reports over 1 million active users.

Unlike standalone chatbots, MaxAI reads the page you are on as context, cites sources in answers, and switches between models such as GPT-5.1, Claude Sonnet 4.5, Gemini 2.5 Pro, DeepSeek, and Grok from one interface. You can chat with PDFs, YouTube videos, emails, and images, generate pictures with DALL-E 3 and FLUX models, and draft replies inside Gmail, LinkedIn, Slack, and other apps.

Students, marketers, researchers, and office workers use MaxAI to draft posts, summarize long articles, explain code snippets, and translate foreign pages side by side. The free plan includes unlimited basic chat and three Pro chats per day; paid upgrades unlock smarter models, unlimited Pro chat, higher file upload limits, and team member management.
