User reviews
I’ve been using this plugin for a while now, and I’m really impressed with how well it works. It’s fantastic at summarizing and handles a variety of tasks effortlessly. It’s also super fast, and the clean, user-friendly interface makes it a joy to use.
That said, I think it could be even better with a couple of additions. For example, it would be awesome if you could attach an image to a system prompt, and have it display alongside it. Another cool feature would be the ability to chat with multiple models at the same time, which would add a lot of flexibility.
Other than that, this is an amazing extension, and I highly recommend it to anyone!

Firebeast979, 2024-12-15Love this extension. Compared to AnythingLLM and OpenwebUI, both of them frequently time out when using with Ollama, but PageAssist gets it right, doesn't waste valuable time spent composing a well crafted prompt to have it lost because it "times out". You can save and export chats and settings, and manage a full array of LLM settings and models. The only feature I would like to see is having the ability to configure multiple remote servers/LLM's so I can chat with different models at the same time (while waiting for a response).
