Why Look Beyond Notion AI?

Notion's built-in AI is solid for Notion pages. But the moment you switch to Gmail, Docs, or Slack, you're back to writing alone.

Platform-Locked

Notion AI only works in Notion pages and databases. Switch to Gmail or Docs, and you're on your own.

Paid Add-on

Notion AI requires an additional subscription on top of your Notion plan. Costs add up quickly for teams.

No Highlight Search

Notion's built-in AI can't search the web from highlighted text or images. Clico lets you select anything on any page and get instant answers.

FAQs

How is Clico different from Notion AI?+
Notion AI is built into Notion. It works well for drafting and editing inside Notion pages, but it stops there. Clico is a browser extension that runs in any text field on any website. You can draft an email in Gmail, rewrite a message in Slack, compose a LinkedIn post, and summarize an article on a news site, all without switching tools. The key difference: Notion's AI is tied to one product, while Clico follows you across every tab.
Can I use Clico inside Notion?+
Yes. Clico works in Notion the same way it works everywhere else. Press ⌘+O to open the AI dialog in any Notion text block, type your prompt, and the response writes directly into the page. You can also highlight text in Notion to trigger a web search. If you already use Notion AI, Clico gives you the same workflow plus access to additional models and voice input.
Do I need to pay for Clico?+
Clico is free to install and use right now. No credit card, no API key, and no account required to get started. Just install from the Chrome Web Store and press ⌘+O in any text field.
What AI models does Clico support?+
Clico currently supports Gemini 2.5 Pro, Claude Sonnet 4.6, and GPT-4o, with more models added regularly. Like Notion AI, you can switch between models, but Clico lets you do it from any website, not just inside Notion. You can also bring your own API keys if you prefer to use your own accounts.
Does Clico work with browsers other than Chrome?+
Yes. Clico runs on any Chromium-based browser: Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Brave, Arc, and Vivaldi. Install it once from the Chrome Web Store and it works across all of them.
Is my data private with Clico?+
Clico only reads the text field you're actively working in. It doesn't scan your browsing history or index your pages. We don't store the content you generate or build user profiles. If you want full control, you can plug in your own API keys so requests go directly to the model provider without passing through our servers.
