Getting Started with the Aymo AI Chrome Extension

How to Install the Aymo AI Chrome Extension

Open the Aymo AI Sidepanel

Click the Aymo AI icon in the toolbar, or press Cmd + Shift + Y on Mac or Ctrl + Shift + Y on Windows.

You can start without an account. Log in to sync chats with your Aymo workspace and unlock more models. Conversations started in the extension appear in the web app.

Chatting with AI in the Sidepanel

Start a New Chat or Open Chat History

• New Chat: Click the + button in the top-right corner to start a new conversation. Use a new chat for each unrelated task.
• Chat History: Click the clock icon to open previous conversations and continue where you left off.

Write a Message

Enter your question or task in the text area labeled Add context or instructions, then click Send.

Choose an AI Model

Click the model name at the bottom of the message composer to open the model selector. By default, it shows Auto Select.

• Auto Select: Routes your prompt to a suitable model based on intent, complexity, and expected output quality.

Model availability depends on your plan.

Attach Files to a Chat

• Click the paperclip (Attach File) icon in the message composer.
• Select the file to upload.
• Describe what you want done with it, then click Send.

State the task clearly, and point to the relevant section when you only need help with part of a file. File support can vary by model.

Capture a Screenshot and Ask About It

Click the Scissors icon in the chat header and select an area of the screen, such as a chart, dashboard, or error message. Add a question about the capture and send it.

Using AI Quick Actions on Selected Text

Select text on any webpage to show the selection toolbar. Available actions:

• Highlight: Mark text on the page so you can come back to it.

Writing Emails with AI in Gmail

Aymo adds AI writing tools to Gmail for drafting new emails and replying to threads.

• Open the compose window or a reply in Gmail.
• Open the Aymo AI Email assistant.
• Choose an email type, such as Cold outreach, Request, or Update or news.
• Set the tone and length, and describe what the email is about.
• Generate the draft, review it, then insert it into the email.

Long threads can also be summarized before replying. Email Writer is available on Plus and higher plans.

Summarizing YouTube Videos with AI

On a YouTube video page, open the Aymo panel and click Generate Summary to get a summary and outline. Use Continue in Chat to ask follow-up questions about the video.

AI Social Media Tools for LinkedIn and X

Aymo adds AI buttons directly to LinkedIn and X so you can write posts, reply to others, and share posts with your own commentary. Drafts use the context of the post you are responding to.

Where the buttons appear:

• X: AI Post in the post composer, AI Reply in reply boxes, and AI Quote when quoting a post.
• LinkedIn: AI Post in the post composer, AI Reply in comment and reply boxes, and AI Repost when reposting with your thoughts.

How to Create LinkedIn and X Posts with AI

• Open the post composer on LinkedIn or X.
• Click AI Post.
• Choose a post type: Industry insight, Story, Milestone, or Tip or Tutorial.
• Choose a tone: Professional, Casual, or Formal.
• Turn on optional formatting: Emoji and #Hashtag. On LinkedIn, Hook First opens the post with an attention-grabbing first line.
• Describe your topic in What's this post about?
• Click Generate Post.
• Review the draft, then click Insert to add it to the composer, or Copy it.

Use Regenerate for a new version, or add instructions to refine the draft.

How to Reply and Comment with AI Reply

Use AI Reply to respond to a post on X or to write a comment or reply on LinkedIn.

• Click into the reply or comment box.
• Click AI Reply. Aymo reads the post you are replying to.
• Choose a reply type:

Agree: Support their point.

• Congratulate: Celebrate the win.
• Ask a question: Start a discussion.
• Add insight: Share your take.

• Choose a tone: Professional, Friendly, or Witty.
• Add optional context or instructions, then click Generate reply.
• Review the draft and click Insert.

How to Quote and Repost with Commentary

Use AI Quote on X or AI Repost on LinkedIn to share someone else's post with your own commentary.

Commentary types:

• Amplify: Support the message.
• Add Context: Add insight or background.
• Question: Start a discussion.
• Challenge: Offer a different view.

Generate the commentary, review it, and insert it before posting.

Engagement Workflows for LinkedIn and X

• Daily replies: Reply to a few posts in your niche each day with Add insight or Ask a question. Thoughtful replies tend to start more conversations than short agreement.
• Celebrate your network: Use Congratulate on milestone posts from peers and customers.
• Share with a view: Quote or repost relevant posts with Add Context or Challenge instead of resharing without commentary.
• Original posts: Rotate between post types, such as a Tip or Tutorial one day and an Industry insight the next.

Tips for Better Social Posts

• Add specifics in the prompt, such as a number, an example, or a personal detail. Generic prompts produce generic posts.
• Set your default tone, emoji, and hashtag preferences in Settings > Writing so every draft starts closer to your style.
• Always read and edit drafts before posting so they sound like you.
