What Minda SI for Chrome is

4 min · Minda SI for Chrome and your phone

Minda SI for Chrome puts Minda's AI chat and page agent in a panel at the right edge of any web page in Chrome. It is the same chat you know from Minda on your computer, in the browser you may already use all day.

It signs in to the same Minda account as Minda on your computer. That is the whole idea: one account, so your chats, your memory and your credits follow you.

What you can do with it

Ask about the page you are on, or have it summarized. It can also summarize a YouTube video.
Right-click a selection to ask about it, have it explained or translate it.
Let the agent read pages and act on them: click, type, scroll and open tabs.
Use the tools on the panel's edge: Write, Grammar, Translate, OCR (reading the text in a screenshot), Create (pictures) and more.
Say "remember that..." and it remembers in every chat. It is the same memory Minda uses on your computer.

Signing in

Open the panel and sign in with Google, Apple, Microsoft, GitHub, Mindsor or an email code. If you turned on two-step sign-in for your Minda account, Minda SI asks for your code too.

Use the account you already have in Minda. A second account would mean a second set of chats, memory and credits.

What it costs

Minda SI uses your Minda AI credits. Every plan has every function, including the agent that acts on pages, and page actions have no daily limit. Free includes 100 credits a month and 30 free everyday replies a day. Pro includes 2,000 credits a month and 100 free everyday replies a day. A larger model uses more credits per reply, and each model's price is shown before you pick it.

How it fits with Minda

Minda SI for Chrome is a companion, not a replacement. Minda on your computer is the full app, with its own browser, workspaces, ad blocker and Tor. Minda SI brings the chat and the agent to the Chrome you already have, and both talk to the same account.

A word on privacy

Minda SI talks to one server, Minda's account server, which passes your AI requests on to the model provider. A page's text, title and address go along only when you ask about that page or the agent reads it for your task. Minda SI never runs in Incognito windows, so a private window has no Minda SI in it at all.

The next lessons show how to open the panel, put it to work on pages and carry the same account to your phone.
