Artificial Intelligence is not only limited to ChatGPT and other tools to generate text, images or even video . In recent months we have seen a boom in really promising AI-based utilities for improving productivity.
Although the majority of generative applications based on Artificial Intelligence work as web applications for the browser, the truth is that there are also other ways and formats to squeeze this type of tools, such as through an extension for Google Chrome .
The best extensions for Chrome based on Artificial Intelligence
The big advantage of using AI-powered Chrome extensions is that they are much more accessible and easier to use. Wouldn’t it be much more convenient to be able to talk to ChatGPT from any Chrome tab, instead of using the standard version of the app? Well, you can do that with an extension!
As we say, AI has great potential in the extension market for Google Chrome. Next, we review some of the most outstanding that have seen the light in recent months.
ChatGPT for Google
This is one of the most popular extensions currently on the Chrome Web Store. The extension does exactly what it sounds like: when you do a Google search, in addition to the standard search engine results, Google displays ChatGPT’s response for that same query on the side.
If you want to combine the best of both worlds (ChatGPT and Google), with this extension you can get the full experience. The tool is compatible with all popular search engines and offers support for all versions of ChatGPT so far (GPT-3, GPT-3.5, GPT-4 and ChatGPT Plus).

ChatGPT for Chrome
Another AI-based Chrome extension that’s been on the rise lately is “ChatGPT for Chrome”. For one, it works the same as “ChatGPT for Google” by adding the ChatGPT response to our Google searches. However, it has another feature that is just as interesting or more, which adds a ChatGPT popup in Chrome so that we can query the AI much more conveniently.
On top of all that, the extension features a dark mode and a button to easily copy the conversation to the clipboard. The truth is that it is not bad at all.

Marline
Merlin is an extension for Chrome that uses AI for different functions. Basically it is a tool that includes all the utilities that we have mentioned so far in a single extension for Chrome : it allows you to add ChatGPT to the responses of the Google search engine, and even make summaries of YouTube videos.
However, its true power is in the pop-up window that is displayed at the bottom of the screen. If we click on it, we can make summaries, ask it to indicate the keywords, write a striking headline, or anything else related to the text of any web page that we are visiting . It also has specific functions for platforms such as Twitter, which can be interesting if you are very involved in social networks.
The Merlin extension is one of the most complete and best designed, but it also has its restrictions. In its free version we have a maximum of 51 daily queries (if we want more we will have to subscribe to a premium plan).

Arcwise AI
Arcwise AI presents itself as a “copilot for Google Sheets”, which means we can use it as an assistant to explain, transform and process data directly from our Google spreadsheets (it also accepts Excel documents if we previously upload them to Google Drive).
We can ask him to clarify what a formula does for a certain cell, to extract the information from a column, or to make a summary. It is also compatible with Google Docs, where it works as a writing assistant.
