Ask Bar: AI Actions on Every Page

From Any Page to a Finished Outcome—Without Switching Tabs

Ask Bar turns your browser into an always-available AI companion. It lives in a small, fast panel and understands what you’re looking at in real time. Instead of copying text into another tab, Ask Bar reads the page with you, answers in context, and helps you turn information into outcomes—right where you’re working.

Whether you’re scanning a product page, reading a long article, reviewing a design, or debugging in technical documentation, Ask Bar helps you move from “What does this mean?” to “What should I do next?” without breaking focus.

Built around two instant modes

Page Context
Ask Bar understands the structure of the page you’re on: headings, sections, and on-page content. Ask questions like:
* “Summarize this page in bullet points.”
* “What are the key claims and what evidence supports them?”
* “Compare these options and recommend one based on my criteria.”
* “Explain this code block and point out possible issues.”

Snap Screen (Visual Intelligence)
Capture any chart, table, UI, or design element and Ask Bar will interpret it. This is ideal for content that isn’t easily copyable: screenshots, graphs, dashboards, and complex layouts. Ask things like:
* “What does this chart imply over time?”
* “Extract the key numbers and trends.”
* “What is the main difference between these two UI states?”
* “Turn this table into a clean summary.”

Powerful capabilities, right where you browse
* PDF Mastery: Open a PDF and talk to it like a conversation. Get summaries, key findings, and quick explanations from dense manuals, reports, and papers.
* Live Web Research with citations: Verify facts using up-to-date sources and get citations when reliability matters.
* Model Freedom: Switch between leading AI models (Gemini, Claude, ChatGPT, Grok, DeepSeek) to match the job—fast answers, deeper reasoning, or different writing styles.
* Seamless Continuity: Your conversation follows you across tabs and sites, so you can keep momentum while researching, comparing, and drafting.

Agentic by design (integrations coming soon)
Ask Bar is not meant to stop at “here’s the answer.” The goal is to help you finish the task. Upcoming integrations are designed to make Ask Bar an agentic layer across your workflow:

With these integrations, Ask Bar is built to help you do things like:
* Turn what you’re reading into an email draft and prepare it for Gmail
* Convert meeting notes or a page summary into tasks in Asana/Jira
* Summarize a Slack thread and generate a clean recap for your team
* Convert key data into a Google Sheets-ready format
* Turn a bug report into a GitHub issue or a PR checklist
* Create structured project notes in Notion
* Draft customer updates and support responses for HubSpot/Zendesk/Intercom

Who Ask Bar is for
* Developers: Understand and debug code in place on GitHub, StackOverflow, and technical docs.
* Researchers & Students: Summarize papers and PDFs, verify claims with citations, and organize findings faster.
* Content Creators: Turn any page into output—threads, posts, scripts, briefs, and email summaries.
* Analysts: Extract insights from charts and tables trapped in screenshots and dashboards.
* Smart Shoppers: Compare specs, summarize negative reviews, and make faster decisions on product pages.

Privacy & security
Ask Bar is built with privacy-first principles.
* Zero Data Logging: Your chat messages and page context are not processed, stored, or logged on our servers.
* API keys stay local: Stored in chrome.storage.local and never synced to any server.
* Secure architecture: Content scripts never access your secret keys. API calls run in the browser’s secure background (service worker) layer.

Note: Ask Bar requires your own API key from OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google. We do not provide paid models for free.
