ASKWay
A browser sidebar for AI chat, translation, page and video summaries, and multi-model comparisons.
About ASKWay
ASKWay is a browser-side AI assistant for reading, writing, translation, summaries, and research without leaving the current page. Its sidebar runs in Chrome and Edge, uses the open page as context, and allows model switching during a conversation. Users can also compare answers from more than 15 AI models side by side when they need more than one provider’s response. Reading tools create structured summaries of long pages and YouTube videos, with timestamped sections and links to key moments. Translation covers more than 50 languages and includes selected-text translation, bilingual display, dictionary help, and read-aloud output. Annual paid plans are differentiated mainly by monthly general-purpose credits and model access. Pro provides 10,000 credits per month for $29 per year, Max provides 33,000 for $79 per year, and Ultra provides 72,000 for $159 per year. Max and Ultra include a priority channel and deep research; Ultra also includes exclusive models. ASKWay is best suited to users who want several model providers in one browser workflow and can select a credit allowance that fits their usage. Buyers should account for annual payment, monthly credit ceilings, browser compatibility, and plan-specific model access.
