One chat, one brain
There used to be two AI helpers in here with a little switch between them. We took the switch out. Now there is one chat, and it figures out the smart thing to do all by itself. No buttons to flip, no “which mode am I in?” head-scratching. Open the AI tab and just type. Behind the curtain, the chat quietly picks the best helper for you:| When you are… | What the chat uses | What it’s good at |
|---|---|---|
| Signed in to eggz with AI credits left | The eggz assistant (included, no key) | Your bills, invoices, quotes, accounts and receipts — and your tabs and workspaces, all in one place |
| Signed in but out of credits, with your own key | Your own Anthropic key as a backup | Keeps the chat working so you’re never stuck mid-sentence |
| Signed out, with your own key | Your own Anthropic key | Chat about tabs, Organise, and save-resources |
| Signed out, no key | A friendly sign-in screen | Points you to sign in or add a key |
The easiest path is to connect your eggz account. When you’re signed in, the AI is included — no API key, no copy-pasting secret codes, no surprise bills. It’s covered by your eggz plan (fair use applies).
It knows what you’ve got open (the helpful way)
Here’s the fun part. The chat doesn’t just see the one tab you’re staring at. It knows about every open tab in every window — even the sleepy ones that Chrome has put down for a nap to save memory. By default it only sees the names and web addresses (the titles and URLs), so it knows what you’ve got going on without poking each tab awake. It also knows the names of things in your saved library — your workspaces, folders, and saved links. So you can ask things like:- “Which of my open tabs are about the kitchen reno?”
- “Did I already save a workspace for the tax stuff?”
- “Round up all my shopping tabs and tuck them into one group.”
It asks before it reads a page
Names and addresses are one thing — actually reading what’s written on a page is another. So the chat asks first. When it wants to read the contents of a page (or look at one of your records), a little permission card pops up and you pick:- Allow once — read it just this one time.
- Always allow — for this conversation, stop asking and let it read when it needs to. (New chat = it asks again.)
- Deny — nope, hands off.
Nothing on a page leaves your browser until you say yes. Until you approve, the chat only ever sees names and web addresses — never the actual words on the page. Your permission choices last for the current conversation only.
Organise your tabs with a nudge
The Organise button now lives right in the chat header. Give it a tap and the AI sorts your open tabs into neat, sensible groups — across all your windows, not just the one in front of you. You can then drop those groups straight into a new or existing workspace so they’re saved for later. Tidy tabs, happy brain.”Hey, want to capture that bill?”
If you’ve been browsing supplier or shop websites, the chat may pop up a little suggestion chip — something like “You’ve visited supplier.com today — capture any bills?” Tap it and your question is already typed out for you. It only does this after you’ve visited a couple of different sites recently, so it’s a gentle nudge, not a nag. Learn more on Capture bills from any page.When you run low on AI credits
If your eggz plan’s included AI gets used up, the chat doesn’t just slam the door:- If you’ve added your own Anthropic key, the chat quietly switches to it as a backup so you can keep going. A small banner lets you know, and you can tap Upgrade (or just dismiss it).
- If you don’t have a key, you’ll see a friendly upgrade card. Bonus: it also lets you invite a friend — when they join, you both get free AI credits. Sharing is caring (and also free credits).
Bring your own key (optional)
Prefer to run on your own steam? You can paste an Anthropic API key in Settings. Think of it like bringing your own snacks to the movies — totally allowed, and then you cover that part of the bill. A few good-to-knows:- Your key is stored on your computer for the extension, and it’s used safely in the background — random websites never get to see it.
- If you’re signed in to eggz and have a key, the included eggz AI goes first and your key waits in the wings as backup.
