One sidebar. Everything you use AI for.

Chat about anything

Emails, posts, plans, ideas, code — ask in the sidebar while you keep working in the tab beside it. Your last five chats are always a click away.

Switch models in one click

Lightning-fast models for quick wins, frontier models like Claude Opus 5 and GPT-5.6 for the hard stuff. Each shows its cost before you pick it.

Summarize any page

Turn a 20-minute read into the key points in seconds. Vela reads the tab you're on the moment you ask — never before.

Interrogate any PDF

Research papers, contracts, reports. Open it in Chrome, press Read PDF, and ask for the findings, the fine print or the number on page 14.

Listen instead of reading

Vela rewrites an article for the ear — no menus or cookie banners — and narrates it in a natural voice while you do something else.

Right-click AI

Highlight any text on any site, right-click, and explain, summarize, translate or rewrite it on the spot.

Private by design. Vela reads a page only when you ask, a one-click switch keeps any page out of the conversation, and your data is never sold or used to train AI. How we handle data

The world's best models, side by side

No single lab wins every task. Vela puts the leaders from the US and China in one picker, so you always have the right model for the job.

Common questions

Do I need to be on a web page to use Vela?

No. Vela is a full AI assistant — chat, write and brainstorm on any tab, even a blank one. When you want, it can also read the page or PDF you're viewing and answer about it.

Which AI models are included?

Twelve models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, DeepSeek and ByteDance — see the full list. Free accounts get three everyday models; paid plans unlock all of them.

What is a credit?

A credit is the unit Vela bills in. Every answer costs credits based on the model you used and how much text it read. The panel shows each model's cost before you choose it, and what each answer cost afterwards.

Does Vela read my pages in the background?

No. Nothing is sent anywhere until you ask a question or press a button. Vela asks permission before it can read pages at all, and a switch in the panel keeps the current page out of a conversation. See the Privacy Policy for the detail.

Can I cancel?

Yes, at any time, from the billing portal linked in the extension's account panel or from the support page. You keep access until the end of the period you've paid for.

Which browsers does it work in?

Google Chrome, version 116 or newer. Vela uses Chrome's side panel and sign-in, so it is Chrome-only for now.

Is my content used to train AI models?

Vela does not train models on your data. Content is passed to the model provider only to produce your answer. See Privacy for who processes what.
