MaxAI (formerly marketed as MaxAI.me) is a browser extension that surfaces AI chat, writing, and summarization tools directly inside whatever site a user has open, from Gmail to Google Docs to LinkedIn. The company is based in San Francisco and was founded in 2024, building on an existing user base that predates the formal company registration.
Rather than switching tabs to a separate chatbot, MaxAI adds one-click prompts for composing, rewriting, summarizing, translating, and explaining text inline, and lets users pick between models including GPT-4, Claude, and Gemini depending on the task. A Temperature Control setting lets users dial output between factual and creative, and the extension works across any Chromium-based browser rather than locking users into one vendor's model.
MaxAI suits professionals who want AI assistance across their existing tools rather than a dedicated chat app, with the company citing over 1 million users and 2,000 teams. A free plan covers unlimited fast-model chat and 3 Pro chats a day; the Pro plan runs $30 a month billed monthly, or a discounted per-month rate when billed yearly, and adds unlimited access to premium models plus team management.
