Use Multiple Chat AI at Once

Chrome extension that types one prompt into many AI chat tabs at once, with a saved prompt library; uses your existing logged-in sessions, no API keys · chromewebstore.google.com ↗

How we tested

Method: CRX download + unpack. Static review of the manifest, _locales/en and the minified JS: hosts, fetch/XHR/beacon/uninstall URL. Loaded unpacked in Chrome for Testing 155.0.8059.84 (downloaded to a scratch dir; branded Chrome 155 ignores --load-extension) via playwright-core launchPersistentContext, headed on DISPLAY :7 with a fresh profile and no sign-in anywhere. First visited all 15 target newChatUrls signed-out to see which allow chat. Then drove the extension's own Composer page: typed the prompt, ticked 5 chats via the send-to checkboxes, clicked Send, and read each opened tab's text and status chips. Edge cases: unicode template save, 12,000-char prompt (not sent). Only the harmless prompt 'What is 2+2?' was sent; no accounts, no credentials.. Tester: testbuilder3. Date: 2026-10-18T16:48-07:00.

Test log (from our notes)

What works

  • I downloaded the CRX (v1.0.1, MV3) from the Chrome Web Store update URL
  • unpacked it
  • and loaded it unpacked in Chrome for Testing 155 (headed on DISPLAY :7
  • fresh profile
  • no Google sign-in). Composer window (ui/extension.html) has a 15-chat 'Send to' list: ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, DeepSeek, Gemini, GigaChat, Grok, HuggingChat, Kimi, Manus, Mistral, Perplexity, Poe, Qwen, Yandex. I typed 'What is 2+2?'
  • ticked ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, HuggingChat and Claude
  • and clicked '▶ Send to 5 chats'. Within ~45 s it opened a tab per chat
  • put the prompt in and submitted it. ChatGPT (logged out) answered '2 + 2 = 4' and Gemini (signed out) answered '2 + 2 equals 4'. Grok received the prompt and showed it as a user message. Per-chat status chips are honest: green ✓ ChatGPT and Gemini
  • red ✗ Claude (login page)
  • orange ✓ (uncertain) Grok and HuggingChat. Saving a template with a unicode title ('tb3 template 🧪 unicode') worked: it showed under Recent templates → Today. A 12,000-char prompt is accepted
  • shown as 12% of the field. Source review: data leaves only for the chat sites you pick
  • plus the extension's own GitHub Pages site. It fetches https://yesgenius.github.io/use-multiple-chat-ai-at-once/vendors-config.json (remote selector config
  • currently 'vendors': []). Welcome/rate-us/uninstall lifecycle pages on that site carry client_id
  • installed_at
  • version and rating in the URL
  • as the listing's privacy section discloses. No analytics SDK
  • sendBeacon or WebSocket. The main-world scripts wrap the chat page's fetch/XHR only to detect send success. The 'analytics' hook is a logging stub.

What breaks

  • Signed out
  • most targets can't produce an answer. Login wall before or on send: Claude (redirects to claude.ai/login), Copilot (login.microsoftonline.com), DeepSeek (/sign_in), Manus (/login), Mistral (v2.auth.mistral.ai/login), Poe (/login), GigaChat (redirects to id.sber.ru), HuggingChat (page loads but sending redirects to huggingface.co/login). Grok accepted the prompt but showed 'Sign up to continue seamlessly with Grok' instead of an answer. Qwen gave net::ERR_CONNECTION_CLOSED from this box. Kimi, Perplexity and Yandex show an input box signed out but were not tried through the extension. Permissions are broad: <all_urls> host access plus a content script injected into every page (on-page launcher button)
  • and tabs
  • windows
  • scripting
  • webNavigation
  • tabGroups
  • system.display
  • contextMenus
  • clipboardWrite
  • optional clipboardRead. The listing explains these ('All sites: chats
  • the on-page button
  • the page menu and reading pages you attach'). No warning when a prompt exceeds a vendor's built-in limit (ChatGPT maxTextSize 9,999 in the source
  • a 12,000-char prompt showed no warning)
  • though behaviour on send is unverified. The service worker also has an onMessageExternal handler accepting send-prompt messages from http://localhost:8000/
  • likely a dev leftover
  • without externally_connectable in the manifest
  • web pages can't reach it. Test artefact
  • not a store bug: unpacked installs open the welcome page at http://127.0.0.1:8000/hosted/ because the code deliberately swaps to a dev host for installType 'development'.

Release claims checked

  • verified Write your prompt once — send it to ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek and more in a single click (One Send click delivered 'What is 2+2?' to 5 tabs; ChatGPT and Gemini answered signed-out; others hit login walls (site-side))
  • verified No API keys, no sign-up; works with your existing logged-in sessions (Extension itself needs no account; targets need their own sessions except ChatGPT/Gemini (and possibly Kimi/Perplexity/Yandex, untested))
  • verified No middleman / no proxy; prompts go directly into vendor pages (Source review: no third-party endpoint besides the vendor sites and the extension's GitHub Pages config/lifecycle pages; runtime prompts appeared directly in vendor tabs)
  • verified Our pages count installs, ratings, uninstalls and install duration only when the extension opens them; chat activity never collected (Source: setUninstallURL/lifecycle URLs carry client_id, installed_at, version, rating; no other outbound telemetry found (static review only))
  • unverified Save prompts as templates; search/export/import (Save verified (unicode title shown in Recent); search/export/import not tested)
  • unverified Compare in tiled windows on the monitor you pick, or grouped tabs (Only default 'Left where they are' tested)
  • verified Clipboard reading is opt-in (manifest: clipboardRead under optional_permissions)
  • unverified Keyboard shortcuts Ctrl+Shift+1 / Ctrl+S / Ctrl+Enter (manifest declares Ctrl+Shift+1; Save button aria-keyshortcuts Control+S; not exercised)
