CHROME EXTENSION · FREE PLAN

Stop copy-pasting into chatbots.

Select any text — a paragraph you're reading, a sentence you're drafting — and AI acts on it right there. Explain, rewrite, summarize, translate, or ask anything. One click, streamed back in place.

HOW IT WORKS

Three seconds, zero tabs.

There is nothing to learn. If you can select text, you already know how to use Sely.

1

Select anything

Drag across a paragraph, a sentence, a whole page with Ctrl A. The action bar appears beneath your selection.

2

Pick an action

Explain, Improve, Shorten, Tone, Grammar — or type your own instruction into Ask anything.

3

Streamed back in place

Rewrites replace your text live (Keep or Discard). Answers stream into a card (Copy or Retry).

TWO MODES

Reading tools when you read.
Writing tools when you write.

Sely detects whether your selection sits in editable text or a page you're reading, and shows the actions that make sense there. Never the wrong buttons.

READING

Understand anything

  • Explain — plain-language breakdowns of dense passages
  • Summarize — the key points, nothing else
  • Translate — nine languages, tone preserved
  • Ask anything — your question, answered in a card

+ Add yours with Custom Actions — bottle any prompt, generate it with AI

WRITING

Sharpen everything

  • Improve — clarity, flow, word choice
  • Shorten — cut filler, keep substance
  • Tone — professional, casual, confident, friendly
  • Grammar + Proofread — mechanics only, or full copyedit

+ Add yours with Custom Actions — Elaborate, Simplify, Formalize…

FEATURES

Everything around the bar.

The action bar is the beginning. Here's what surrounds it.

Inline rewrites, never permanent

Edits stream into your own text. Nothing changes until you say Keep — Discard restores the original, Retry runs it again.

Ask anything, answered in place

Type any instruction or question about your selection. Explanations stream word-by-word into a card with Copy and Retry.

Quotas you can actually see

The free plan shows a live usage meter — what you've used, what's left, and exactly when it resets. No surprise cutoffs.

Custom actions, AI-written

Name any action — Elaborate, Simplify, Formalize — and Sely drafts its system prompt for you. Pick rewrite or generate, pick where it appears.

Stays out of your way

Drag the bar anywhere. Dismiss it with × or Esc. Mute entire sites from the bar, the toolbar, or Settings.

Private by architecture

No analytics, no telemetry, no history. UI renders in isolated Shadow DOM pages can't touch; BYOK keys never leave your device.

SELY PRO · COMING SOON

Headroom for power users

Soon
launching after public release
  • Bigger quotas — token-based limits for heavy daily use
  • Priority routing — fastest lane, top-up packs instead of cutoffs
  • Everything included — every feature, every action, from day one

One principle: every feature ships to everyone. Pro buys headroom, not unlocks — the only thing with a licence is BYOK, because there you pay the provider directly.

Private by architecture, not by promise. No analytics, no telemetry, no conversation history. The interface renders in isolated Shadow DOM that pages can't touch. Read the whole policy — it's one page, because there's almost nothing to disclose.

FAQ

Asked, answered.

Which AI model does the free plan use?

Sely Free is routed across a small fleet of models managed by Sely, so quality stays consistent and no single provider is a point of failure. Bring your own key to pin any specific model.

Is my API key safe?

Yes. BYOK keys live only in your browser's local storage, never sync in plain text, and requests go directly from the extension to your provider — they never touch Sely's servers.

What counts toward my free limits?

Each completed AI action. Long selections are truncated to your plan's cap with a notice, so one giant paste can't burn the quota.

Does it work in Google Docs?

Docs renders text on a canvas, so inline replacement isn't possible there — Sely detects it and shows answers in a card you can copy instead.

Why does the bar sometimes not appear?

Three usual reasons: the site is muted (unmute it in Settings), popups are blocked on a page that forbids injection like the Chrome Web Store, or you dismissed it with × — reselect and it returns.

Install Sely. Select text. Done.
