    We've partnered with Anthropic to bring you Claude Sonnet 3.5, the second most advanced AI model globally (see rankings), right after GPT-4o. Our extension now supports the top 2 most powerful AI models. If you have a specific model in mind, please let us know.

  • 📝 Conversation Memory

    The AI now remembers your previous questions within a session, allowing for more coherent follow-up interactions. Note that closing the extension or clearing/changing the context will start a new conversation.

  • 📏 Set Response Length

    Sometimes you want a short answer, but the AI starts giving long responses. Other times, you might prefer a long-format answer. For situations like these, you can simply set the desired length for the response. Currently, you can choose between short, medium, and long.

  • 🔮 Enhanced Response Quality

    We've made significant improvements in response accuracy and relevance across all AI models.

  • 🐞 Bug Fixes and Optimizations

    We fixed bugs, including one where the extension, when first loaded, would take a few seconds to activate the user plan. We also resolved issues related to the Notion and Google Docs websites, among others.

v5.0

  • Introducing Our Web App

    We've launched our Web App so you can use AI on browsers where our Chrome extension isn't supported, including on mobile devices. We'll keep adding more features to our web app. As of now, it's available for paid users.

  • Improved Responses in Gmail

    Previously, there were issues with the AI confusing the sender's name with the recipient's name. We've fixed this issue. If you're still facing any problems with the response quality, let us know through the feedback link in our extension.

  • Improvements in Writing Tones

    In our last update, we introduced the writing tone feature. This update brings improvements to it. If the writing tone feature isn't working for you as expected, or you want more options, please let us know.

  • Fixed Issues for Free Users

    We're aware that free users frequently face issues. This happens because we use the OpenAI ChatGPT website to generate responses for free users, and the OpenAI ChatGPT site often changes its setup, requiring us to update our extension. In this release, we've made our implementation stronger, so you should encounter fewer issues.
    Note: Paid users are not affected by this and the extension works smoothly because we use our dedicated servers instead of relying on your OpenAI ChatGPT Website account.

v4.0

  • Writing Tones 🎯

    Send the right message quickly with our writing tones feature.
    Meet our new Auto tone. It adjusts your writing tone to align with the person you're communicating with, making it easy to compose messages that fit the conversation. No more need to determine the appropriate tone for each message.
    For occasions when you do need to establish a specific tone, you can choose from various writing tones, including Professional, Casual, Straightforward, Confident, and Friendly.
    Give it a try now and let us know your feedback.

  • Fixed issues with response generation for free users

    The extension was not functioning correctly for free users, but this issue has been resolved. Additionally, users who have a subscription to the OpenAI ChatGPT Plus Plan can now choose between the GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 models for generating responses.

  • New pricing plans

    We're excited to announce our new subscription plans, including the Elite Plan, designed for users seeking uncompromising quality. This plan utilizes the GPT-4 Turbo AI model, the most advanced AI technology available, to deliver top-tier responses.
    Additionally, we now offer annual billing options, allowing you to save up to 25%. Moreover, monthly subscribers can now upgrade to annual plans to maximize savings.
