Plenty of people who use ChatGPT get stuff done by hopping between OpenAI’s chatbot and broader web-browsing sessions. But extensions that fuse ChatGPT right into Chrome have resulted in a peanut-butter-and-chocolate moment for AI and web browsing.
To wit, here are four must-have Chrome extensions that will streamline your ChatGPT workflow and boost your productivity in one fell swoop.
ChatGPT for Google
Get a second opinion from ChatGPT right alongside your Google search results with the free ChatGPT for Google extension.
It seamlessly integrates ChatGPT’s oomph into your search experience, displaying AI-generated responses alongside traditional search results. That makes it particularly handy for research, fact-checking, and getting alternative perspectives on your search queries.
ChatGPT Writer
Transform your email composition and document writing with the ChatGPT Writer extension.
Infusing your browser with ChatGPT’s writing capabilities helps you draft emails, compose documents, and create content—all while letting you customize your writing style to ensure you’ve got the right tone.
As a bonus, it also integrates smoothly with Gmail, Outlook, and other popular web tools, allowing you to generate quick responses with a single click.
The free version grants you 15 requests per month; paid plans start at $39 per month.
ChatGPT Sidebar
Keep ChatGPT at your fingertips with the ChatGPT Sidebar extension. As the name says, it creates a persistent sidebar, making it easy to get AI assistance without switching between tabs.
Billing itself as a Swiss Army Knife for AI extensions, this add-on features a bevy of capabilities covering reading, writing, images, and more. There’s a limited free plan; paid options start at $10 per month for more access.
ChatGPT Summarizer
When you’re short on time but need to digest long articles or documents, the ChatGPT Summarize & Chat extension comes to the rescue—and it’s free.
It generates concise summaries of web and PDF content while allowing you to ask follow-up questions about the material, letting you engage in something akin to an interactive Q&A about the summarized output.
The extension also offers tailored summary templates to cater to those in the academic, scientific, and journalism fields.
