About Askee

Askee is a Chrome extension that adds a chat assistant to any web page. The user opens it on the page they are reading, highlights text or asks a question, and receives an answer that links back to the exact spot it came from, which avoids copying content into a separate chatbot.

It works on articles, dashboards and web apps such as Gmail, Jira, Notion and Google Docs and Sheets. For YouTube it pulls the transcript to give summaries, key moments and timestamped highlights. Users can also drop in PDF, DOCX, CSV or JSON files and chat with them like a page, and questions can span several sources at once.

Askee is a hosted commercial product that is free to install, with plans described in a pricing section. It suits researchers, students and professionals who read long documents or videos and want quick, source-backed answers.
