Core Features

BraceKit is more than a chat widget — it’s a fully-featured AI workspace embedded directly into your browser. This section covers the essential features you’ll use every day.

Feature Overview

Quick Tips

Productivity Boosters

1. Use page context for research — Open any article and ask BraceKit to summarize, extract key points, or explain complex sections

2. Branch before exploring — Before going down a tangent, branch the conversation so you can always return to the original context

3. Select and ask — Highlight confusing code or text and ask for an explanation in one click

4. Use slash commands — Type /compact when conversations get long to compress history
