Best For
Professionals who write primarily in web browsers and need an AI assistant that works directly inside Gmail, LinkedIn, and Google Docs.
Key Features
- ✓Browser Extension
Installs as a Chrome/Brave/Edge extension. I tested it, and it adds a small, unobtrusive button to most text fields on the web.
- ✓Context-Aware Suggestions
In my experience, it reads the webpage you're on. On LinkedIn, it suggests professional intros; in Gmail, it tailors email replies.
- ✓Tone Adjustment
You can rewrite selected text to be more professional, friendly, or concise. I use the 'Professional' tone for client emails constantly.
- ✓Quick Text Expansion
Highlight a bullet point and use 'Expand' to turn it into a full paragraph. It's my go-to for drafting blog post sections.
- ✓Grammar & Polish
More than just a spellcheck. It actively rephrases clunky sentences. What surprised me was how it fixes my passive voice habit.
- ✓Summarize
Select a long block of text (like an article or email thread) and get a concise summary. Saves me minutes of reading time daily.
- ✓Reply Generator
In Gmail, it analyzes the email you received and drafts multiple reply options. The quality is consistently high and saves mental energy.
- ✓Social Media Post Crafting
On LinkedIn or Twitter, it helps generate posts from a simple prompt. I find it great for brainstorming angles, not just writing.
- ✓Custom Prompts
The Pro plan lets you create and save your own prompt templates. I have one for crafting cold outreach that matches my brand voice.
- ✓Multi-Language Support
It can write and translate in over 25 languages. I've used it to draft polite follow-ups in Spanish and German for international contacts.
- ✓Plagiarism Checker
A Pro feature that scans generated text for originality. Crucial for students and content creators to ensure work is unique.
- ✓Quick Actions Menu
Right-click any selected text to access all features. This context menu integration is smoother than many competitors I've tested.
Tips & Tricks
Use the 'Custom Instructions' in Pro to teach it your writing style (e.g., 'avoid jargon,' 'use active voice') for more personalized outputs.
For long-form content in Google Docs, use 'Expand' on individual bullet points, then use 'Polish' on the full section for a cohesive flow.
On LinkedIn, right-click your draft post and use 'Improve' to get multiple version options, from punchy to detailed.
When replying to complex emails, first use 'Summarize' on the thread, then generate a reply based on that summary for perfect context.
Create a 'Blog Outline' custom prompt to instantly structure ideas before you start writing in your CMS.
Limitations
- -It can struggle with very niche or technical jargon, sometimes offering generic phrasing that needs manual correction.
- -The free plan's 20-action limit is restrictive for a heavy day of writing; you'll hit it quickly.
- -It's entirely browser-based, so you can't use it in native desktop apps like Microsoft Word or Scrivener.
- -Long-form generation (500+ words in one go) can sometimes lose coherence compared to dedicated AI writing platforms.
