I've tested a bunch of extensions and discovered 5 free and really handy ChatGPT chrome extensions for you.

The coolest part of this extension is that it shows up on the right side of search result pages and lets you switch between AI models easily.

Keep in mind that your search box works as the input for each AI model, making all search box content into AI commands and saving you from bouncing between different AI sites.

The key function of ChatGPT for Google

If you're not quite satisfied with the search results, you can try the Search Agent feature. It offers you 60 chances to search every 12 hours.

Search Agent will analyze your questions, convert them to multiple search queries, and try its best to find answers from the results, saving you time from browsing around multiple pages. To find the search result that suits you best, all search requests will be sent directly from your browser.

Perplexity

It's a niche extension, and it's free to use, too. At the same time, Perplexity has mobile apps for Android and iOS that you can download.

This extension doesn't clearly state which AI model it uses by default, but it does provide unlimited queries. That said, its querying approach is somewhat special compared to other extensions.

In comparison, this extension is more like an assortment of search engines. If you don't have any particular demands for the AI model, you can absolutely give this extension a shot.

The interface of Perplexity

But it does have a downside. As an extension primarily featuring search engines, it can only be used on its own website or by clicking the extension for separate inquiries, rather than automatically assisting you with searches alongside the search engine.

However, it does have another function that's free to use.

It can create summaries for any webpage, and there's no limit to how many times you can use it.

Merlin

This extension allows for API integration, so if you've already got an OpenAI membership, you can use this extension for free as well.

Besides, Merlin also grants users a certain number of free queries daily. But in contrast to Monica, Merlin doesn't provide a chance to get premium membership features for free. So when looking at it from a free access standpoint, it's not as high a priority as Monica.

The free tier of Merlin

Similar to ChatGPT for Google and Monica, Merlin can also help you with supplementary searches on the side of the search engine.

But in comparison with the two extensions mentioned earlier, Merlin has the least functionality. It can only offer a summary after a search, and it doesn't have any additional features.

Like Monica, Merlin is also capable of assisting you in generating text within your input field.

Nonetheless, this function is only available in Google Mail and a few social media platforms, which makes it comparatively more limited.

All three functions are free to use, with Generations allowing 15 uses per month, Assistant Actions permitting 20 uses per month, and TypeAheads offering 500 uses daily.

Assistant Actions: This function is quite impressive, as it can assist you in carrying out cross-platform interactive actions based on your instructions.

For instance, by simply inputting: 'Create a new Google Document, title it HyperWrite Personal Assistant Test, and then in the Doc write a short poem about AI,' the extension will carry out the action for you once you've granted authorization.

TypeAheads: This function is somewhat akin to Monica's Quick Compose, but it's not as user-friendly. All you need to do is input the desired content on HyperWriter, and it will automatically produce five short texts, each approximately 60 words in length.
