Browser Extensions

Whether you are using Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Firefox or any other chromium-built browser, you have the ability to add extensions/plugins for a variety of purposes.

Some may be for ad-blockers, parental monitoring tools or even password managers, but now there are more and more AI-powered tools being released that you can add for free*!

Wiseone

💡 Wiseone aims to help you research faster online by giving increased amount of opportunities to understand complex topics without having to spend extra time away from the page.

When you add this extension to your browser, you’ll have the ability to active Wiseone on any page for analysis.

The tool takes into consideration the context of the page before giving extra information just by hovering over set words with a blue underline.

🤔 The ‘Ask Anything’ Feature

The extension also gives you the ability to ask any questions you may have of the page, allowing quick summaries or more detailed questions on what you have read.

This tool becomes incredibly useful as you can ask specific questions for your needs, and in a set format that helps you.

The aim is to try to reduce the amount of time on information that isn’t important to you, and to hyper-focus on those key topics that are interesting.

Perplexity AI

💡 Another great AI tool is Perplexity which acts as a powerful AI-alternative to your favorite search engines. Perplexity very quickly searches online for relevant information, and can be focused on a specific page.

However, the standout feature is the ability to search by domain!

Domain Search

Domain search is incredibly powerful as you are able to ask a broad range of questions about a specific website. The results will then provide summaries with direct source-links to those specific pages on the website you are on.

This works very well for news and corporation websites.

As this sits on your browser extension ribbon, you can apply Perplexity search on any website that you visit and can source information incredibly quickly with a lot of detail.

I hope this article provides some useful tools and uses around AI-powered copilots that sit directly in your browser.

We’ll be back later in the week with another article!
