If you want the assistant beside the page you are reading instead of in another tab, Monica is a browser extension in a side panel that summarizes the current page, rewrites or translates selected text, and switches between models in one interface. There is a free allowance after signup; models, feature toggles and quotas are listed on the official site. The extension reads page content, so for admin systems, webmail and intranet pages, confirm which sites it runs on first.
What it does
- Sidebar chat for direct questions and summaries on the open page
- Rewrite, translate or explain selected text without copying it elsewhere
- Switch between models in one interface to compare answers
- Conversations and history are kept, with follow-up turns
- Features are configured per site and can be turned on selectively
Who it is for
- Read a long foreign-language page and get a Chinese summary in place
- Ask two models the same question and compare conclusions
- Select a sentence in an email and rephrase it
- Avoid copying material into another product
How to get started
- Install the extension, sign in and enable only page summaries first
- Try two or three real pages for answer quality and speed
- Then enable selected-text translation and chat, checking which sites are read
