Security reflects where data goes, requested permissions and incidents on record at the verification date. It is not a guarantee of zero risk: check the deployment mode and the connections you enable.

What it does, concretely

Reading, understanding and writing on the web takes time: dense pages, long videos, emails to compose, PDFs to analyse. MaxAI is a browser extension that places artificial intelligence actions directly on the page you are viewing, without switching tabs.

In practice, the extension activates on any webpage, YouTube video or PDF open in the browser. It can summarise content, answer your questions about that content, translate the page in bilingual mode, explain selected text, improve your writing or generate a reply to an email. It relies on several models: GPT-4o, Claude 3.5 Sonnet, Gemini 1.5 Pro and o1.

MaxAI is aimed at people who read a lot online, regularly write emails or content, and want to save time without juggling multiple tools. It also suits students and professionals who work with PDFs or foreign-language sources.

It will be less useful for those who do not need daily reading or writing assistance, or who prefer not to install an extension that has access to the content of visited pages.

What it offers

  • ·Instantly summarise any webpage, YouTube video or PDF open in the browser.
  • ·Ask natural-language questions about the active page content and receive sourced answers.
  • ·Translate an entire page in bilingual mode with one click.
  • ·Explain in plain terms any text selected on the page.
  • ·Improve, rephrase or correct text written directly in the browser.
  • ·Generate a reply to an email or social media message from a brief note.
  • ·Access multiple AI models (GPT-4o, Claude 3.5 Sonnet, Gemini 1.5 Pro, o1) from a single interface.
  • ·Create images from a text description.
