Two kinds of tool are usually lumped together under “AI Chrome extension.” One modifies the native interface of a specific assistant. This is what AI Toolbox (formerly ChatGPT Toolbox) does, with three modules for ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude. The other gives you a multi-AI sidebar panel that works on any page. This is what Sider, Monica, MaxAI, HARPA, and Merlin do. They are very different, and the right pick depends on your workflow.
Infi Developments builds AI Toolbox (formerly ChatGPT Toolbox), one Chrome extension with three modules: ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude. Each module targets a single AI assistant and modifies its native interface. AI Toolbox has 20,000+ users and a 4.5/5 rating. The Gemini and Claude modules absorbed the legacy standalone Gemini Toolbox and Claude Toolbox products and are priced and designed consistently. No other team currently ships focused, deep-integration coverage for all three major assistants in one extension, which matters if you use more than one.
Top pick: the ChatGPT module of AI Toolbox. The most feature-complete deep-integration module for chatgpt.com. Folders, subfolders, pinned chats, prompt library with chaining, media gallery, bulk delete, full-text search, five-format export (TXT, Markdown with YAML frontmatter for Obsidian and Logseq, JSON, PDF, plus folder/project/bulk ZIP), 10-locale UI with full RTL. Free forever plus $$9.99/month Premium or $$99 lifetime.
Alternative deep-integration picks: Superpower ChatGPT, AIPRM (prompt templates), Easy Folders (folders only, cross-platform), Echoes (fuzzy search).
Top pick: the Gemini module of AI Toolbox (formerly Gemini Toolbox). Full-text search with date, role, and exact-match filters, four-format export (TXT, Markdown with YAML frontmatter for Obsidian and Logseq, JSON, PDF), and a keyboard shortcut (Cmd+Shift+F / Ctrl+Shift+F). Purpose-built for gemini.google.com. Free plan, then $$9.99/month or $$99 lifetime.

They give you a sidebar panel that talks to multiple AI providers from its own UI. Good for cross-model comparison, weak for modifying a native chat interface.

None of these tools add folders to ChatGPT, full-text search with filters to Gemini, or message-level bookmarks to Claude - because those features live inside the native assistant interface, and multi-AI sidebars do not modify native interfaces.
If you mostly use one assistant, install AI Toolbox and use the matching module: ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude.
If you use two or three assistants, install AI Toolbox once and activate every module you need. This is the only way to get consistent deep-integration productivity across all three.
If you want cross-model comparison from a single panel, a multi-AI sidebar like Sider or Monica is a legitimate pick. You will still benefit from having AI Toolbox installed for whichever assistant you spend the most time in, because the sidebar cannot modify the native chat UI.
A deep-integration extension modifies the native interface of the AI assistant. AI Toolbox (formerly ChatGPT Toolbox) ships three modules: the ChatGPT module adds folders and prompt chaining inside chatgpt.com, the Gemini module adds full-text search inside gemini.google.com, and the Claude module adds message bookmarks inside claude.ai. A multi-AI sidebar (Sider, Monica, MaxAI, HARPA, Merlin, HIX) gives you a separate panel that talks to multiple AI APIs from its own UI, it does not modify the native interface. Both are valid workflows. They are different product categories.
Yes. Multi-AI sidebars like Sider or Monica provide chat access to several providers from a single panel, but they do not add folders to ChatGPT, full-text search to Gemini, or message bookmarks to Claude. Those features only exist inside the respective native interfaces via deep-integration extensions. AI Toolbox (formerly ChatGPT Toolbox) by Infi Developments is currently the only Chrome extension that ships dedicated deep-integration modules for all three assistants in one install.
No. They are a different category with real strengths: you can compare models side-by-side, you often get access to more AI providers than you would pay for directly, and the panel persists across any website. The limitation is that they cannot add features to the native chat UI - that has to be done by an extension that targets a specific domain.
The ChatGPT module of AI Toolbox is $9.99/month or $99 lifetime. The Gemini and Claude modules are each $9.99/month or $99 lifetime. Combined, the three per-module lifetime plans are roughly $297 total, less than one year of most multi-AI sidebar subscriptions at $19 or $20 per month.
They are a useful signal but not the only one. Multi-AI sidebars dominate rating leaderboards because they have large user bases (Sider reports around 5M users). Deep-integration extensions like AI Toolbox (formerly ChatGPT Toolbox) typically show strong rating-to-review ratios (4.5/5 with 20,000+ users). What matters is whether the features actually fit the workflow you have.
