Page Assist
An open-source browser extension that adds a sidebar and a ChatGPT-style web UI for chatting with local AI models, such as those run with Ollama, from any webpage.
About Page Assist
Local models usually run in a terminal or a separate app, away from the pages you are reading.
Who it’s for
- Ollama and LM Studio users who want a chat interface inside the browser
- People who want to ask questions about the page they are reading while keeping chat history in the browser
When to consider it
Consider Page Assist when you want a free, MIT-licensed browser sidebar for local models in Chrome, Firefox, Edge or Brave, with chat-with-page, a local knowledge base and MCP tools.
Tradeoffs & limitations
- The sidebar and chat-with-webpage features do not work in Opera or Arc, where only the web UI is supported.
- Knowledge-base files are embedded and stored in browser storage with no server-side storage, which the documentation warns may cause performance issues.
