v2.0.0

Installed September 11, 2026

Every conversation in one place, chats side by side in a grid, a window that stays on top, and a launcher you can write in.

What's New
  • Chat history

    The latest conversations from every chatbot you use, in one list on Home and on a page of its own with search and filters. Refresh reads the newest from each chatbot’s own list, and supporters can sync further back.

  • A page for bookmarks, with folders

    Bookmarks get a page with search and drag to reorder, and folders the way Chrome does them: file a chat from the save menu, drag rows between folders, open a whole folder at once. Bookmark all tabs saves every open chat in one go.

  • Split view

    Put chats in a grid, up to 6 by 4, in the side panel or a full tab, and drag the dividers to size the panes.

  • Broadcast

    Write once under the grid and send it to every chat on screen.

  • A floating window

    Open in floating window keeps a chat on top of every other window and app while you work.

  • Write from the page

    Hover a chatbot in the launcher and a composer opens beside it. Type there, add the page’s text or your selection, take screenshots, pick a saved prompt, and send: the panel opens with the message on its way.

  • Answer marks

    Leave a chat while it writes and its tab shows a small bar that fills once the answer is in.

  • Colored chats

    With a theme color picked, the chats take a light tint of it, and selected text matches.

  • Gemini Notebook

    One more chatbot in the catalog.

Improvements
  • The launcher is a pill

    It sits flush with the screen edge and unfolds in place into your chats. Right-click it to move it to another edge, keep it open, or hide it on that site.

  • Zoom survives a reopen

    Each chat comes back at the level it was left, panes in a grid included.

  • Screenshots land while a chat is still loading

    The picker dims the page like a snipping tool, and a shot taken before the chat is ready waits for it instead of getting lost.

  • Menus sized to what they hold

    Every menu opens the same way, with the keyboard too, and takes only the width its rows need.

  • Changing the panel scope asks first

    The dialog says what closes or restarts before it happens.

  • One click to activate

    After a purchase, the site hands the key to the extension and activates it for you.

  • The version number opens these notes

    In Options, the version links here.

  • A fresh start has eleven chatbots

    New installs begin with eleven pinned on Home, A to Z.

Fixes
  • The launcher survives an update

    It comes back to the pages already open instead of waiting for a reload.

  • Sites' styles stay out of the launcher

    A page’s own colors and borders no longer leak into it.

  • Reordering tabs keeps the chats

    Dragging a tab along the strip no longer reloads it.

  • Dictation keeps its words

    Speaking into your own chats no longer repeats or drops words.

  • A full-page tab keeps its own active chat

    It no longer swaps chats with the side panel.

  • Dialogs keep their margins

    In a narrow panel they no longer run edge to edge.

v1.4.0

Installed August 28, 2026

Your own chats get tools. Connect MCP servers, use the model built into Chrome, and attach files to any conversation.

What's New
  • MCP servers as tools

    Give your own chats real tools through any MCP server. A picker fills in the well-known ones, so you only paste a URL when yours is not on the list.

  • The AI built into Chrome

    Chrome’s on-device model shows up as a chat of its own. No key, no account, and nothing leaves the machine.

  • Attach PDFs and files

    Drop a PDF, an image or any text file into a chat with your own API.

  • TinyFish for web search

    Add your TinyFish key and your chats search and read the web through it.

  • Yandex Alice and GigaChat

    Two more chatbots in the catalog.

Improvements
  • Open the panel in a tab or a window

    Pick where from the strip menu. A window can take the whole screen or split it with the page you are reading, and the chat you were on comes with it.

  • Ask AI lands in the chat you choose

    The right-click menu now lists your open chats, so a question can go into the conversation it belongs to instead of a new one.

  • Enter sends in Claude

    Claude treats a narrow window as a phone, where Enter starts a new line. In the panel it sends, the way it does everywhere else.

  • Your APIs are called models

    The section that holds them says My models, which is what people call them.

Fixes
  • Errors say what actually went wrong

    When an endpoint refuses a message, the box shows its answer instead of a generic retry message.

  • The composer fits a narrow panel

    The model name gives up width first, and send stays where it is.

v1.3.0

Installed August 22, 2026

Prompts you write once and use everywhere, bookmarks for the conversations worth keeping, and a color for the whole panel.

What's New
  • Your own prompts

    Save the prompts you use often and pick one from the strip. They fill themselves in with the page, your selection, the URL or the title, and can send on their own.

  • Bookmarks

    Save a conversation from its tab menu and it waits for you on Home.

  • Theme colors

    Pick a color and the whole panel takes it.

  • Pick your language

    Choose the interface language in Options instead of following the browser.

Improvements
  • Selecting text opens the launcher

    Finish a selection on any page and the bar comes out on its own, ready for the chatbot you want to ask.

  • Tabs are warm before you reach them

    Chats load quietly behind the one you are reading, so switching lands on a page that is already there.

  • Sharper zoom, and a percent you can type

    Zoom a chat from its tab menu and type the exact level you want.

  • A sign-in notice for chatbots that ask in a dialog

    Sites that open a login box instead of a login page now say so in the panel.

  • Kimi splits by region

    Kimi follows its move to kimi.ai, and the Chinese site stays as Kimi (CN).

  • Home returns to where the tab started

    The Home button in a tab menu goes back to the chatbot’s own front page.

  • Five bookmarks on the free plan

    Supporters keep as many as they like.

v1.2.0

Installed August 16, 2026
What's New
  • Lumo and MiniMax Global

    Two more chatbots in the catalog.

Improvements
  • Zoom per chat

    Each chat keeps its own zoom level instead of sharing one.

  • The launcher carries your selection

    Text you select on a page rides along when you pick a chatbot.

  • A bar for the screenshot picker

    Take the whole visible page in one press, or cancel without taking anything.

Fixes
  • The toolbar icon keeps up with the theme

    It repaints when you switch between light and dark.

v1.1.0

Installed August 10, 2026
What's New
  • Duck.ai makes thirty chatbots

    Duck.ai joins the catalog, sending properly from inside the panel.

Improvements
  • Five chats on the free plan

    The free plan holds five chats open at once.

v1.0.0

Installed August 8, 2026

chat.cx is live. Every chatbot you use in one panel, next to whatever you are reading.

What's New
  • Every chatbot in one panel

    Thirty of them, in the side panel, a tab, a window or a popup, with as many chats open at once as you like.

  • A launcher on every page

    A pull-tab at the edge of any site opens the chatbot you want without leaving what you are reading.

  • Home, with the chatbots you actually use

    Pin the ones you want and they sit on Home as shortcuts. The rest stay in the catalog.

  • A tab strip that docks anywhere

    Move it to any edge, drag tabs to reorder them, and each chat comes back on the page you left it on.

  • Send the page or your selection

    Drop either into a chat from the launcher or the right-click menu, and ask about it there.

  • Screenshots

    Drag a box around part of the screen, or take the whole visible page, and it lands in the chat.

  • Chat with your own API

    Connect any OpenAI-compatible endpoint and talk to it in the panel. The model list comes from the endpoint itself, attachments and inference settings included, and the key never leaves your machine.

  • Web search and page reading

    Your own chats can search the web and read a page with no key of their own, or through a provider you bring.

  • Image generation

    Point a chat at an image endpoint and ask it for pictures. Every call asks you first, since every call costs money.

  • Dictate a message, or listen to the answer

    A microphone in the composer and read-aloud on every reply.

  • Temporary chats

    A conversation that is never written to storage.

  • Math, code and reasoning render properly

    LaTeX comes out as equations, code blocks are highlighted, and a model’s reasoning shows as it thinks.

  • See what a message cost

    Time to first token, total time, tokens per second, and the token counts the endpoint reported.

  • A notice when a chatbot wants you signed in

    Sites that hide behind a login say so in the panel instead of sitting blank.

  • Dark mode

    Raised surfaces come out lighter than the page, the way the browser does it.

  • Ten languages

    Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Russian, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Arabic and Hindi, with right-to-left handled throughout.

  • Early Supporter licenses

    Pay what you want once and keep every feature.
