Introduction
MaxAI.me is a browser extension and web app that puts an AI assistant beside whatever you are reading or writing. It can summarize a page, explain a selection, translate a site, answer questions about a PDF or a YouTube video, and draft replies without switching tabs. The product brings several model families into one interface, so you can pick a fast model for everyday questions or a stronger one for longer reasoning tasks. It runs as a Chrome extension and as a web app, and paid plans raise the usage limits.
