Which AI models does Monica support?

Monica integrates a wide range of state-of-the-art models, including GPT-5, GPT-4o, Claude 3.7 Sonnet, Gemini 2.5 Pro, Sora 2, DALL-E 3, Stable Diffusion, and more.

How does the 'Explain This' and text overlay feature work?

Select any text on a webpage. Monica's smart toolbar appears, letting you send that text directly to the AI for explanation, translation, or rewriting without copy-pasting.

Does Monica work offline?

No. Monica is a cloud-based service that requires an active internet connection to communicate with the various AI model APIs.

How does Monica handle context from my browser tabs?

When you open the sidebar or use the writing assistant, Monica can access the content of your active tab to provide context-aware answers, summaries, or completions, with your permission.

Can I build my own custom AI assistant with Monica?

Yes, Monica's bot platform allows you to create custom assistants powered by Claude models, define specific skills, and set up automated workflows.

What is the difference between Monica and using ChatGPT directly?

Monica is a multi-model aggregator and productivity layer. It offers GPT-5 alongside other models, plus seamless integration into your browsing workflow with overlay tools, which a standalone chat interface doesn't provide.
