Meet Monica

Monica suits people who want assistance while reading or writing on the web. Its sidebar and text-selection tools bring several tasks into the current page. A multi-model chat interface is also available. Treat a summary or rewritten paragraph as a draft, and inspect the original page before relying on a compressed explanation.

A practical workflow

  1. Open the web app or install the supported browser extension.
  2. Select a short passage on a page you may process.
  3. Ask for an explanation, summary or rewrite with a clear purpose.
  4. Compare the result with the passage before inserting or sharing it.

Illustrative input

This example describes a task, not a tested output. Adjust the source material and settings to your own situation.

Explain this paragraph for a reader new to the subject. Keep the original qualifications and list any terms that need further context.

Result check: Check that the explanation preserves exceptions and does not turn an uncertain statement into a fact.

Access and alternatives

Monica documents continuing free access with a daily usage limit. Advanced models and features require eligible paid access. Current model-specific allowances are not fixed here; check the provider's plan page before committing to a workflow.

Choose another workflow when its emphasis fits better: Microsoft Copilot for a different browser-oriented assistant; Poe for a hosted multi-model chat workspace.
