The Chrome Web Store rounds user counts down to the leading digit, so the user line moves in steps. The ratings count is exact and is the better signal of real adoption.

About IChat

IChat is a context-native AI chat sidebar for the web. Instead of copying fragments into a separate chat window, IChat lets you talk to the page where the information already lives. Capture a text selection, an image, or a smart DOM target, and IChat turns that live page context into a structured prompt you can review, refine, and send. IChat is built around a simple idea: context should stay close to its source of truth. The web page is not just background material. It is the working surface. IChat helps you ask better questions with less copy-paste, less context loss, and more traceable answers. What makes IChat different: • Context-native capture from the current page • Smart FlowContext built from selection, DOM structure, and nearby content • Sidebar-first workflow that keeps chat beside your work • Bring-your-own-key model for provider flexibility and control • Support for OpenAI-compatible endpoints, Gemini, and Anthropic • Prompt preview before send, so you can see exactly what the model receives • Local-first interaction designed to reduce unnecessary data movement IChat is useful for: • Researching articles, docs, and dashboards • Asking questions about the page without manual copy-paste • Comparing model responses against the actual source page • Turning browsing into a more grounded, explainable AI workflow If you want an AI assistant that works with the web page instead of pulling you away from it, IChat is built for that.
