TabMate - Browser Research Workspace

TabMate is a browser extension that turns the tab you are working in into an AI research workspace. It is aimed at people whose jobs involve a lot of repeated browsing and reading, including product marketers, founders, students, educators, and general researchers who need their notes and the source pages they came from to stay connected. The extension works by reading the context of the page in front of you so you can ask questions about it directly, then save the useful parts, excerpts, summaries, conversations, and follow-up ideas, into your account. Because that material is stored per project, you can close a tab or come back days later and pick the research back up without rebuilding the context. TabMate also includes an agent mode that performs multi-step actions on a page, such as clicks, form fills, and hovers, with guarded actions like form submissions always pausing for your explicit approval before continuing. What distinguishes TabMate from a general chat tool is that it deliberately keeps the page, the excerpt, the saved note, and the follow-up work together rather than scattering them across separate conversations. On privacy, it states that it does not passively scan background tabs or browsing history and does not use your data for model training, and it lets you delete individual notes or your entire account from the panel. It is available for Chrome and Firefox, is free to start with no credit card required, and offers paid tiers for heavier use.
