Understand This Page

One click in the side panel: AI reads the page you're on and answers the question that matters. No account, no setup, no prompts.

Understand This Page is an AI side panel for Chrome that helps you understand the page you are already viewing. Click "Understand this page" and the extension recognizes what kind of page you are on, then gives a structured answer shaped for that situation - whether you are weighing a purchase, evaluating a job ad, reading the news, or digging through documentation. It works on almost any web page. What it can help with: - Products: a buyer's verdict based on the visible price, availability, and reviews - and what the page leaves unanswered. - Jobs: how well the role fits you and what to ask the recruiter before applying. - Articles and news: the key claims, the evidence behind them, and what remains uncertain. - Videos: whether the video is worth your time, with a transcript-aware summary when a transcript is available. - Developer pages: repositories, code, and technical documentation explained in context. - Email: whether a message needs action, how urgent it is, and a suggested reply. Answers are built to be checked, not just believed. Each one ends with a skeptical-read card that collects the red flags and the things left unsaid, and on shopping and job pages many points carry a small "Show on page" button that highlights the exact passage a point is based on, so you can verify the claim right where it appears. When you have analyzed several products or job listings, the panel can also compare them side by side and name a pick with reasons - using the analyses you already have, without reading anything again. You can ask follow-up questions about the same page, and answers are available in 27 languages. A keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+Shift+Y, Cmd+Shift+Y on Mac) opens the panel directly. The extension runs only after you take an action. It does not read pages automatically, does not create an account, does not sync browser history, and contains no analytics. When you ask for an analysis, the captured page context is sent through Understand This Page's own service to OpenAI so the answer can be generated and plan limits enforced. Settings, cached answers, optional profile fields, and the billing email used for subscription actions are stored locally in Chrome extension storage. Analyzed products and job listings are also kept in a local history on your device so you can compare them; comparing sends those stored analyses (not the pages) to the same service, and you can remove entries or clear the history at any time. An anonymous installation ID and technical request metadata are used for plan limits, abuse prevention, and subscription security. Email pages are never persistently cached. The free plan includes a daily number of analyses - no account or card needed. Pro removes the daily limits under a generous fair-use policy, with checkout and billing handled on Stripe-hosted pages.
