Product Overview
What is Clico?
Clico is a browser extension for Chrome and Chromium-based browsers that brings writing assistance directly into any text field across the web. Without switching tabs or copying context, users can draft replies, summarize articles, ask questions about any page, and dictate via voice β all triggered by a simple keyboard shortcut. Clico reads the visible page content to stay contextually aware, and can also reference any open browser tab as additional context. It requires no API key and is free to use during beta.
Key Features
In-Page Writing Assistant
Activate with a keyboard shortcut inside any text field on any website to draft replies, compose messages, or generate content without leaving the current tab.
Page Summarization
Double-tap the shortcut to instantly get a structured summary of whatever article or page you are reading, saving time on lengthy content.
Contextual Page Awareness
Clico reads the visible content of the active page automatically, so responses are relevant to what you are currently viewing β no manual copy-pasting needed.
Tab Memory with @ Reference
Type @ to pull context from any open browser tab directly into your prompt, letting Clico work across multiple documents or conversations at once.
Voice Input
Hold the Command key to speak instead of type β Clico transcribes your speech, understands the page context, and writes the appropriate response for you.
Inline Search & Lookup
Highlight any word or sentence on a page to get instant definitions, context, or search results without opening a new tab.
