Why people choose Klime
No account, no credit math
Install and ask. One free request every day, and paid plans are flat: no credit counters per model.
Works in the browser you have
Klime opens beside the page in Chrome or Edge. Your tabs, bookmarks and passwords stay where they are.
Careful by design
Klime never clicks Send in Gmail. Klime Agent shows every step and asks before submitting, sending or buying.
Built around the page
Summaries, explanations, translations and answers use the page you are on as context, including YouTube transcripts.
When another option may suit you better
You want to switch between many models
AI sidebar suites let you pick a different model for each chat. Klime uses one model we configure for browsing tasks.
Your chats are not about a page
For long conversations, coding or files unrelated to what is open, a chatbot website is a natural fit.
You want a whole browser built around AI
AI browsers replace Chrome or Edge. Klime is for people who want to keep the browser they already use.
Common questions
Can I use Klime together with another AI extension?
Yes. Klime is a regular extension. If two extensions want the same keyboard shortcut, change one at chrome://extensions/shortcuts.
Do I need to switch browsers to use Klime?
No. Klime runs in the side panel of Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge.
Is there a free version?
Yes. Every installation gets one free AI request per calendar day, shared across all features, with no account needed.
Try it on the next page you open.
Install Klime and use your free daily request to see how it fits your work.
