About OG AI Sidebar: AI Assistant, Summarizer & PDF Chat
Stop switching tabs to ask an AI to explain the page you're already reading.
OG AI Sidebar is a page-aware AI side panel for Chrome. Open it on any website and it has already recognized what kind of page you're on — an article, a YouTube video, a PDF, a product, a coding problem, a form, a LinkedIn profile, and 25+ more types — and lays out one-tap actions built for that exact page. No copy-paste. No prompt-writing. The page stays open, and the answer arrives beside it, in your language.
One AI. Every Website.
Built for students, researchers, and multilingual professionals who read dozens of pages a day and are tired of pasting them into a separate chat tab.
✨ KEY FEATURES
✨ Page-aware one-tap actions
OG AI Sidebar detects 30+ page types across 300+ recognized sites and shows the right actions for each: key facts on an article, a price check on a product, a hint ladder on a coding problem, "fill this form" on a real form, a profile audit on your LinkedIn page.
🎬 Learn faster from every video
On YouTube, summarize the whole video, explain it, or explain the exact timestamp you're stuck on. View, copy, translate, and save the full transcript. Works on Shorts too.
📄 Chat with your documents
Open any PDF and summarize it, explain it, solve a problem sheet, or just ask questions beside the document. Web PDFs can open in the built-in viewer so the actions sit right in the toolbar.
📝 Fill forms with AI
OG AI Sidebar finds real forms, even ones embedded in frames, and drafts every field from your My Information vault, kept on your device. Works on Google Forms, Microsoft Forms, Typeform, JotForm, and standard web forms. It skips passwords and payment fields by design.
🌍 Translate any page in place
Translate the page you're reading, including logged-in pages, with no banner bar. Click once to translate, click again to restore the original. The interface ships in 37 languages and answers come back in yours.
💻 Coding help with a hint ladder
On LeetCode, HackerRank, Codeforces, and 20+ more coding sites, you choose the spoiler level: explain the problem, get an approach hint, or see the full solution. Plus debug and code-explain on any page with code.
💼 LinkedIn help (assistive, never automated)
OG AI Sidebar knows which LinkedIn page you're on — your own profile, someone else's, a job, a post or feed, your messages, or a company — and shows actions built for each. Audit and rewrite your profile, draft icebreakers and outreach, qualify a lead or research an account, check your fit for a job and tailor your résumé, write posts and comments, and draft replies to messages. With your consent, drafts are personalized from your local My Information (résumé, ideal customer profile, writing voice) so they sound like you. Every LinkedIn action is a suggestion you review and send yourself — OG AI Sidebar never posts, connects, or messages on your behalf.
🔗 Share answers anywhere
Turn any answer or highlighted passage into a post or message. Share to LinkedIn, X, Facebook, WhatsApp, Telegram, or email in one tap, and copy-and-open for Instagram and TikTok. Pass along a summary, an insight, or a draft without leaving the page.
🧠 Build your own knowledge base
Save answers, group PDFs, text, and images into folders, pin your top three, and chat with a whole folder at once. Search everything you've saved, resume past conversations, and export a folder to a formatted PDF.
📸 Capture and analyze with one shortcut
Press Alt+Shift+S to capture and analyze: Quick (the visible area), Snap (a region you draw), or Upload (a document). Get an answer without leaving the page.
🗺️ Study tools that build understanding
Turn any page into a mind map, flashcards, a quiz, or a list of smart questions to ask. On quiz pages, OG AI Sidebar gives study help, never auto-answers.
🔀 Choose your AI model
Answers run on a fast default model on the free tier. The paid plan adds a model picker with GPT, Gemini, and Claude tier options for deeper reasoning.
🛡️ Built-in guardrails
On banking, health, and government pages OG AI Sidebar is read-only: it asks before reading, shows a disclaimer, and never acts on the page.
⚡ WHAT MAKES OG AI Sidebar DIFFERENT
Most AI extensions open the same blank chat box on every site, so you end up explaining the page before you can get help. OG AI Sidebar flips that around: it reads the page type first and offers actions designed for it, so the answer is one tap away. A recipe, a LeetCode problem, and a visa form are not the same job, and OG AI Sidebar does not treat them like they are.
🎯 WHO IT'S FOR
▶ Students turning lectures, articles, PDFs, and quizzes into summaries and flashcards
▶ Researchers and analysts who read all day and want fast summaries and a searchable answer trail
▶ Multilingual professionals who browse in a second language and want pages and answers in their own
▶ Developers and CS students learning with a hint ladder instead of copied solutions
▶ Knowledge workers and writers who want AI without leaving the tab
▶ Job seekers and career changers checking job fit, tailoring résumés, and polishing their LinkedIn profile
▶ Recruiters, salespeople, and creators researching profiles and companies and drafting outreach, posts, and replies they review before sending
🚀 HOW IT WORKS
1️⃣ Add OG AI Sidebar to Chrome and pin it. No credit card.
2️⃣ Open any page and press Alt+Shift+S (or click the icon) to open the side panel.
3️⃣ Tap an action — the panel already shows the right ones for the page you're on.
4️⃣ Save what matters to a folder or the Answers Library, in your language.
🔒 PRIVACY AND DATA HANDLING
OG AI Sidebar is local-first. Your files, history, settings, and My Information vault (contact details, résumé, ideal customer profile, writing voice, goals, brand) are stored in your browser, not on our servers. Page content is sent for processing only when you trigger an action, and answers are generated by large language models through OG AI Sidebar's own secure service…
