Power up with these 3 highly rated AI extensions for Chrome and Edge

Whether you’re a content creator, a researcher, or simply someone who spends hours browsing the web, AI-powered browser extensions are your secret weapons. Here are three top-rated AI extensions that seamlessly integrate with Google’s Chrome and Microsoft’s Edge browsers. From writing assistance to smart summarization and beyond, these extensions can streamline your work and take productivity to new heights.

Monica

Can’t decide which AI model is best? You don’t have to.

Monica is an AI assistant powered by OpenAI’s GPT-4, Anthropic’s Claude 3, Google’s Gemini, and other models. It’s designed to help with tasks such as searching, reading, writing, translating, and creating art.

Available as an extension for Chrome and Edge, and also as desktop and mobile apps. Monica can handle composing written content, drafting email replies, and creating visuals from text descriptions. But it goes further by summarizing PDFs, videos, and even images, thanks to handy upload features.

All this power doesn’t come free, however: Monica plans start at $10 per month or $100 per year. For the time it could save you, though, it might pay for itself quickly. It’s also the highest-rated on our list here, with a 4.9 average from almost 15,000 reviews in the Chrome Web Store.

Merlin

Monica not powerful enough? Make way for Merlin.

It’s more than twice as expensive—$29 per month or $228 per year—but offers a feature-limited “Free Forever” plan as well.

Both free and paid versions offer summarization tools, social post, and email creation, and leverage several AI technologies.

The paid version adds unlimited queries and custom bot creation, a code interpreter, and full use of 12 AI technologies, including GPT, Claude, Gemini, Mistral, DALL-E, Code Llama, and Whisper.

Merlin is available as a browser extension and as apps for iPhone and Android. It’s got a 4.8 average from more than 8,000 reviews on the Chrome Web Store.

MaxAI

If ease of use is what you’re after, look no further than the MaxAI extension.

Promising “1-click AI magic,” MaxAI lets you chat with any website to gather context, generate summaries, and search inside the current page.

There are also powerful quick-reply and writing features for email and social media posts, plus the ability to set up your own custom prompts to automate otherwise repetitive actions.

As for pricing, there’s a pretty limited free version, a more feature-filled Pro version for $19 per month or $144 per year, and an unlimited Elite version for $39 per month or $300 per year that fully leverages multiple ChatGPT and Claude versions, plus additional providers.

The extension has a 4.8 average rating from more than 12,000 reviews on the Chrome Web Store.
