The Multify panel, on every page
Open the panel
Click the Multify M in your toolbar, or press Alt+X (Option+X on a Mac). Press it again to close the panel. If you don't see the M, pin it first: puzzle piece at the top right of the browser, then the pin next to Multify.

Inside the page, or in Chrome's side panel
By default the panel opens inside the page you're on, docked on the right. Each tab gets its own panel, and this is the version that can work on the page for you with Page Agent.
If you'd rather have one panel that stays put while you switch tabs, turn on Settings → Use sidepanel. That moves Multify into Chrome's built-in side panel. You can still chat about the page you're on, but Page Agent only works in the in-page panel.
Some pages don't allow extensions inside them: the browser's own settings pages, the extension stores, and PDFs. On those, Multify opens in Chrome's side panel instead.
MultifyMinimize it to a button
Click Minimize at the top of the panel and it shrinks to a round M button on the page. Click the button, or press Alt+X, to bring the panel back. Drag the button to any corner and it stays there on every site. You can also set its size and corner under Settings → Minimized button.
Find your way around
The switch at the top flips between your Stash and Chat. The first time you open the panel it shows your stash. After that it opens on whichever half you used last.
Next to the switch you'll find buttons for a new chat, opening this chat in full on the web, your chat history, your public profile, and the menu.
The menu
- Stash and Chat: the two halves of the panel.
- Import/Sync: bring in browser bookmarks, X bookmarks, or a stash file. See Stash.
- Connectors: connect Gmail, your calendar, Notion, Slack and other apps (below).
- More tools: Tasks, Pages, Projects, Runbooks, Files and Computer open on the Multify website. Capture works right in the panel (below).
- Settings and About.
Chat about the page you're on
Above the message box you'll see the title of the page you're on. While it says page context on, Multify can read that tab the way you see it, including pages you're signed in to, like your CRM, an order history or a shared doc. Ask about what's on screen and it answers from the page itself.
Click the page title to turn page context off when your question has nothing to do with the page. The bookmark next to it saves the page to your stash.
Mention your stuff with @
Type @ in the message box to pull in something you already have: a task, a runbook, a page, a file, a GitHub repo, or a stash item. Multify reads it along with your message.
The buttons around the message box
- Choose model: the provider icon. Pick which AI model answers. See AI models & credit.
- Attach files: the paperclip. Up to 10 files, each 20 MB or smaller.
- Improve prompt: rewrites your message so it's clearer before you send it. Undo improve puts your words back.
- Prompt templates: save a message you send often and reuse it.
- MCP servers: see the MCP servers you've connected and the tools each one offers.
- Share this conversation: send someone a link to the whole chat. Live share lets them follow along and join in while it happens.
What you can do with a reply
Under each answer you can Create task, Save as page, Copy, or Publish it. When you're in Gmail, Use in Gmail puts the text into your draft. Multify also suggests a few follow-up questions you can click instead of typing.
Sending while Multify is still working
You don't have to wait for an answer to finish. Choose what happens in Settings → When you send while Multify is working:
- Queue: send when it finishes. Your message waits in line, marked Queued · sends when Multify finishes. Click Send now if it can't wait.
- Append: stop it and send now. The current answer stops and yours goes right away.
If you start something from outside the panel while it's busy, like a right-click Research this, Multify asks whether to Do it next or Stop and start this.
Close the panel, keep the answer
Answers keep running after you close the panel. When one is ready, the M in your toolbar shows a count. Open the panel again to read it.
Other ways to start a chat
Quick picker
Press Ctrl+Space (Control+Space on a Mac) on any page for a small menu: Open Multify Chat, Go to Dashboard, or Create a Task.
- Open Multify Chat
- Go to Dashboard
- Create a Task
From the address bar
Type multify, a space, and your message in the address bar, then press Enter. The chat opens on the Multify website with your message filled in.
From Google or Bing results
On a Google or Bing results page, a round Multify button sits next to the results. Its label reads Ask Multify about this search. Click it and the panel opens with a chat about what you searched for.
From the right-click menu
Highlight text and right-click to research it, explain it, improve it or save it as a quote. Right-click a link to stash it, or a blank spot on a page to stash the whole page. Every item is on Right-click & Improve.
Turn an image into a prompt
Right-click any image and choose Generate reverse prompt with Multify. Multify writes a prompt that would produce a similar image, and you can copy it, use it in chat, save it as a page, or generate a new image from it. Details on Right-click & Improve.
Capture a screenshot
Open the menu, then More tools → Capture, and click Capture visible tab. Multify takes a screenshot of what's on screen (it hides itself for the shot), saves it to your Files, and gives you a share link. Click Copy to send the link to someone, or Discuss in chat to ask about the screenshot.
Connect your apps
Open the menu and choose Connectors. The Apps tab lists popular apps such as Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Drive, Notion, Slack, HubSpot, Salesforce and GitHub, with the ones you've already connected marked Connected. Connecting finishes on the Multify website in a new tab.
The MCP tab lists the MCP servers you've added. If one stops working, it's marked with Fix this so you can reconnect it. To add one, see Connect MCP servers.
Once an app is connected, mention it in chat or in Doubleslash and Multify uses it to answer.
In Gmail
In Gmail the panel knows which email you're reading. Click the M on an open conversation to ask about it, or rest your pointer on someone's address to look them up. Everything Multify does in Gmail is on the Gmail page, and writing in place with \\ is on Doubleslash.
Settings
Open the menu and choose Settings. The cards come in this order. Each drawing shows the card as it looks on a fresh install, with the switches at their defaults.
Look
Pick how Multify looks. Your Look also styles your Stash, the web app, and your public profile.
Multify Light · Switch to dark
Eight Looks, each a set of colors and type. Multify Light is the default, and it has a dark twin you flip to with the sun and moon switch. Whatever you pick follows your account to the new tab, your stash and the web app. All eight are on Looks.
Use sidepanel
Off keeps Multify on the tab you are using, and each tab keeps its own chat. On moves it to the browser side panel for this window. The toolbar and the other Multify buttons follow this.
Chrome only. Leave it off to keep the panel inside each tab, which is what Page Agent needs. Turn it on if you want one panel that stays open while you move between tabs. Firefox has no side panel, so this card doesn't appear there.
Multify new tab
New tabs open on Multify: start a chat, or see your stash, people you follow, and a short daily digest. Off brings back your browser's own new tab.
On by default in Chrome and Edge. Switch it off to get your browser's own new tab back; the rest of Multify keeps working. What the new tab shows is on New tab.
Spot coupon chances at checkout
When you reach a checkout, Multify offers to look for coupon codes. To spot checkout pages it reads the page's headings, buttons, and form labels (never what you type) and sends them to Multify.
With this on, a bar appears at the bottom of checkout pages offering to find codes. Multify searches the web for them; you type the code in yourself. Turn it off if you'd rather not see the bar anywhere, or use Don't show on this site on the bar itself. Details on Right-click & Improve.
People Research
In Gmail, rest on a sender or an email address and a card offers to look that person up. The letter is sent only when you click Research this person.
Use {person} where the name and email should go. Saved when you leave the field.
This is the hover card in Gmail. What to ask is the question Multify runs when you click Research this person; edit it to fit your work (say, "and whether they've bought from us before"), keeping {person} in the sentence. More on Gmail.
What Multify offers while you read email. Gmail today.
A round Multify button slides into its corner with a count of what it found: people to look up, a summary, a reply, a task, or an unsubscribe. Rest on it to see them, click it to open the panel with the email.
Controls the round button that slides in when you open a conversation. Hide after is how long it stays (3 to 10 seconds, or until you close it); the ring around the button counts it down and pauses while your pointer is on it. Ring color changes the ring and the count badge. Amber is the default because it shows on most pages. See Gmail.
Doubleslash
Type \\ (two backslashes) while you write an email to pick an action. The email you are writing is sent to Multify only when you pick an action.
The same \\ in text boxes and editors on other sites (Slack, LinkedIn, GitHub, Notion and more). Never in password or payment forms or code editors.
Two switches: one for Gmail, one for text boxes on other websites. The list under them holds the sites where you chose Turn off on this site after typing \\; remove one to turn it back on there, or add a site by name. Everything the picker can do is on Doubleslash.
Page Agent
Ask Multify to type, search, and click on the page you are on. It works in Multify on the tab (Use sidepanel off), and asks before it acts on a site.
On Google Flights, prefer nonstop.
Off by default. Paying, booking, agreeing to terms, sending a message, and typing a password each ask first, even on approved sites.
Off by default. When something goes wrong, Multify sends an anonymous report so it can get better.
Everything Page Agent remembers about you lives here. Form details are the values it fills into forms (never passwords, card numbers or ID numbers). Always approved websites are the sites you told it not to ask about again; remove one to make it ask next time. Page watches lists the pages it checks for you. Custom instructions apply every time it acts, and naming a site in a line makes that line about that site. The two switches are off by default; turning on the first means you accept a disclaimer. Full guide on Page Agent.
Outside agents
An agent connected over Multify MCP can open tabs behind yours and type, search, and click.
Learn how to configure ChatGPT, Claude, Grok with Multify
It asks before it acts on a site, the same as Page Agent. Your account default in web Settings can turn this on for every browser; this switch is this browser's own setting.
Off by default. With this on, outside agents work on any website in this browser without asking in the browser.
Off — following your account default (set in web Settings).
Off by default. It never sees the values, only that a detail is saved.
This card is for an AI you already use, like Claude or ChatGPT, working in this browser. Nothing happens until you turn on Let outside agents drive this browser. Browser name is how the agent picks this browser when you have more than one. Close tabs agents opened tidies up after it. The line under the name says where this browser's on or off came from: this browser, or the account default you can set for every browser under Settings → Outside agents in the web app or Stash. Setup and the approval flow are on Let your agent use your browser; how the two kinds of agent and the three settings places fit together is on Agents in your browser.
Fold long thinking
While Multify thinks, the box folds away after this long so the chat stays tidy. Click Thinking… to watch it again.
Long answers show a "Thinking…" box first. It folds after 15 seconds unless you change this to 10, 30 or 60 seconds, or Never. Folded or not, a click opens it again.
When you send while Multify is working
Append stops the reply and sends your message now. Queue holds it and sends it when the reply finishes.
New installs start on Queue, so a message you type mid-answer waits its turn and you can still click Send now. Append cuts the current answer off and sends yours straight away. See sending while Multify is still working.
Minimized button
When Multify on the page is minimized, or Page Agent is moving between pages, it waits as a round M button. Drag it to any corner, or pick one here.
Small, medium or large, in any of the four corners. Dragging the button on a page changes the corner here too. The Gmail suggestions button uses the same corner and size.
Move your stash
Download your stash as a file, or import one from another account or another person.
Opens the export and import screen. Export everything or just some tags, for yourself or to share, and import a file someone sent you. The options are on Stash.
Phone, and the stash tab
Text Multify from Messages.
You hid the left-edge stash tab on these sites. Remove one to show it again on next visit.
Two smaller cards close the list. Manage on the phone row links or changes the number you text Multify from (see Text Multify). Stash Tab — hidden sites lists the sites where you hid the edge tab; remove one and the tab comes back on your next visit.
Using Firefox
Multify works the same way in Firefox, Gmail features included, with a few differences:
- The panel always opens inside the page. There's no Use sidepanel setting.
- On pages Firefox keeps extensions out of (its own settings pages, the Firefox Add-ons site, and PDFs), Multify opens in a small separate window instead.
- There's no Multify new tab page. Firefox keeps its own.
- When you sync your browser bookmarks, Firefox asks for permission in a small Multify window, because it can't show that question inside a web page.

If you use Claude, ChatGPT or another AI app, you can let it open sites and work in this browser while you approve each site. See Let your agent use your browser.
