What is Gene?
Artificial intelligence is changing the way we browse the web. Whether you're researching a topic, writing content, reading lengthy articles, or solving complex problems, having an intelligent assistant available whenever you need it can save an enormous amount of time.
That's where Gene comes in.
Gene is an all-in-one AI assistant for Chrome that helps you search, read, write, create, edit, and learn without leaving the webpage you're on. Powered by GPT-5.5, Claude Opus 4.8, and DeepSeek-V3, Gene brings some of the world's most advanced AI models directly into your browser.
Instead of switching between tabs, copying information into different AI tools, or searching through dozens of websites, Gene works wherever you are. Simply press Ctrl + Q to open Gene and start asking questions.
Whether you're a student, developer, researcher, marketer, designer, or simply someone who spends time online, Gene helps you work faster while keeping your workflow uninterrupted.
The Internet's AI Assistant
Gene isn't just another chatbot.
It's an AI assistant that understands the webpage you're viewing and helps you interact with it intelligently. Ask questions about articles, summarize documents, generate content, translate text, edit webpages, create images, and organize your research—all from one simple interface.
Because Gene works directly inside Chrome, you don't need to constantly switch between tabs or copy and paste information into external AI websites. Everything happens exactly where you're already working.
No complicated setup is required, and you don't need an OpenAI account to get started.
Key Features
AI Chat
Need a quick answer? Want help understanding a difficult concept? Looking for advice or brainstorming ideas?
Gene lets you chat with powerful AI models from anywhere on the web. Press Ctrl + Q and ask anything. Whether you're reading documentation, studying for an exam, writing code, or planning your next project, Gene is always available to help.
Unlike traditional chatbots, Gene works alongside your browsing experience, allowing you to reference the webpage you're already viewing while asking questions.
Webpage Summaries
Long articles don't have to slow you down.
Gene can summarize entire webpages into concise, easy-to-read overviews that capture the key ideas without losing important information.
Whether you're reading research papers, news articles, documentation, or lengthy blog posts, Gene helps you understand the content in seconds instead of minutes.
It's perfect for students, professionals, and anyone who wants to consume information more efficiently.
Highlight & Learn
Sometimes you don't need information about an entire page—you just want to understand a specific paragraph or sentence.
Simply highlight any text on a webpage, PDF, or Google Doc and ask Gene about it.
Need an explanation? Want a simpler version? Curious about a technical term? Gene provides immediate answers based on the selected content without requiring you to leave the page.
This makes learning while browsing faster and far more interactive.
Smart Search Agent
Traditional search engines give you links.
Gene gives you answers.
Instead of manually opening multiple search results, Gene intelligently searches the web, analyzes relevant sources, and delivers accurate responses in one conversation.
Whether you're researching current events, comparing products, checking live information, or exploring a new topic, Gene helps you find reliable information faster.
Website Editor
Want to see what a webpage would look like with a different layout?
Gene's Website Editor allows you to redesign webpages using simple natural language.
Describe the changes you want, and Gene can update text, modify layouts, hide sections, reorganize content, adjust styling, and experiment with entirely new designs—all without manually editing the page.
It's an incredibly useful tool for designers, developers, marketers, and anyone who wants to prototype ideas directly inside their browser.
To start the Website Editor, simply type /design in the Gene chat and describe the changes you'd like to make.
Image Generation
Ideas become images in seconds.

No separate image generation tools are required.
To generate an image, type /imagine followed by your prompt in the Gene chat.
Gene Notes
Research is only valuable if you can find it later.
Gene Notes lets you save AI conversations, research, and important responses into organized notes that you can revisit whenever you need them.
Instead of losing useful information inside long conversations, you can build your own searchable knowledge base while browsing.
Whether you're collecting research, saving coding solutions, or organizing study material, Gene Notes helps keep everything in one place.

Whether you're creating blog posts, essays, emails, reports, social media content, or business documents, Gene helps you transform ideas into polished writing.

PDF & Google Docs Support
Gene works seamlessly with both PDFs and Google Docs.
Open a document, ask questions about its contents, summarize long sections, explain difficult concepts, or reference the entire document without leaving your browser.
Instead of jumping between multiple applications, Gene turns your documents into interactive conversations, making research and studying significantly more efficient.

Browsing shouldn't be limited by language.
Gene allows you to translate text directly on any webpage without copying and pasting it into another translator. Simply highlight the text you want to translate, choose your preferred language, and Gene provides a natural translation in seconds.
