Page Assist
An open-source browser extension for local LLM chat, with webpage questions, Ollama support, and data stored in your browser. Licensed under MIT.
Page Assist brings local AI chat into your browser, with a sidebar for conversations alongside a webpage and a separate tab for a ChatGPT-style interface. It's for people who already run models on their own hardware and want to ask questions about what they're reading without leaving the page.
The extension connects to Ollama, Chrome AI with Gemini Nano, and OpenAI-compatible endpoints such as LM Studio and llamafile. It provides the browser interface; the connected provider runs the model. You can use ordinary chat or ask questions about the current webpage's content.
Browser choice affects the available features. Chrome, Brave, Edge, Firefox, Vivaldi, LibreWolf, and Zen Browser support both the sidebar and webpage chat, along with the separate chat tab. Opera and Arc support the chat tab, but don't support the sidebar or questions about the current page.
Page Assist is open source under the MIT license. It stores data locally in browser storage and says it doesn't collect personal data. Its optional sharing feature communicates with a server and can be disabled.
