Standalone AI assistant apps
ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Copilot are powerful, but you copy-paste context between them and your browser. They do not see the page you are working on unless you paste it in.

What is an AI personal assistant?
An AI personal assistant is software that uses artificial intelligence to complete tasks, answer questions, draft messages, schedule events, and automate repetitive work on your behalf.
Browser-native AI assistant
Tabbit builds the assistant into the browser itself. It sees your current page, open tabs, screenshots, and files, so you can ask "summarize this page" or "book the cheapest flight" without switching windows.
How an AI personal assistant works inside Tabbit
Instead of reading a pasted prompt, Tabbit observes your live browsing context, plans the next action, and acts inside the browser until the task is done.
Observe
The assistant reads the active page, DOM structure, visible text, and any @ references you attach—tabs, screenshots, or PDFs.
Plan
The LLM interprets your goal, chooses tools such as click, type, scroll, or navigate, and adapts when websites change layout.
Act
It completes the task in a dedicated tab group while you keep browsing—research, forms, bookings, summaries, and more.

Why use Tabbit as your AI personal assistant?
Tabbit turns your browser into an assistant that understands context, takes action, and keeps your workflow private.
@ the page you are on
Reference any tab, screenshot, or PDF with @ in the omnibox. The assistant reads your live context instead of asking you to paste it.
Autonomous web actions
Clicks, scrolls, fills forms, and chains steps across sites until the job is done—not just drafts for you to copy.
Work while it works
Tasks run in isolated tab groups so research and automation proceed while you stay in your current flow.
Your data stays local
Context lives in your browser. Tabbit does not need to upload your entire browsing history to a third-party API.
