Install Sim for Chrome, then pin Sim in Chrome’s Extensions menu.
Ask about a page
- Open a page and click Sim in the toolbar. Sign in if prompted.
- Review the attached page by clicking its chip. Use × to remove it.
- Type your question and send it.
To ask about a passage, select it, right-click, and choose Ask Sim about selection. To add another page, open it and use + → Current page. Each attached page stays as it was when captured.
Choose + → Page access → Allow across websites and approve Chrome’s prompt once to use pages across websites. Your draft stays unsent during setup. To change access later, choose Page access → Manage in browser.
Turn on + → Reference current page on send to include the active page whenever you send. Sim remembers your choice. Manually attached pages or selections take priority.
Chrome settings, other extensions, and pages without readable text can’t be attached.
Dictate or attach a screenshot
Click the microphone beside Send to dictate. Allow microphone access if Chrome asks, then click again to stop. Edit the draft and send when ready. If access is blocked, choose Open settings.
Drag a screenshot file onto Chat, or use the file picker. It uploads as an attachment you can remove before sending. Dragging an image URL from a website doesn’t attach the image itself.
Keyboard shortcut
Press Command + Shift + S on macOS or Alt + Shift + S on Windows and Linux. Sim attaches your selection, or the current page when Reference current page is off. With it on, the page is included when you send. An unreadable selection stays unsent.
Change the binding in Chrome’s Extensions → Keyboard shortcuts. If Chrome keeps focus on the page, click the message field or use its pane-navigation shortcut (Command + Option + Up on Mac).
Open team links
Type a shortcut such as go/handbook or sim/handbook in Chrome’s address bar. Both work once you're signed in to Sim and Links is on for your organization.
For suggestions, type sim, press Space, and enter part of a link name. If Chrome searches instead of opening a shortcut, open the Sim extension and sign in.
See Links for supported inputs, Glean conflicts, and team rollout. Administrators can allow the extension for a Chrome organizational unit.
Privacy
Sim reads page text when you attach it or send with Reference current page on. Approval alone doesn’t start background capture. Attached text appears in the Sim composer before you send; submitted content follows your conversation’s retention settings.
Voice input sends microphone audio to Sim’s transcription provider while recording. It does not record tab audio or start when you open the panel. The transcript stays in your draft until you send.
