What you need before starting
- A Chromium-based browser (Google Chrome recommended).
- An Evelant account.
- A stable internet connection.
Install the extension
- Open the Evelant landing page.
- Click Add to Chrome.
- Approve the browser permission dialog.
- Pin the Evelant extension from the browser toolbar for faster access.
Create your account
- Open the Evelant website.
- Click Get Started or Create your free account, or sign in with Google.
- Complete registration and verify your email if asked to.
Connect the extension
Once you're signed in on the web, the extension recognizes your account automatically the next time you open it. There's no token to copy or paste anywhere.
Start using Evelant on any website
- Open a page you want to read or analyze.
- Click the Evelant orb that appears on the page (or open the side panel).
- Type a question, for example one of these.
- Send it and wait for the response.
Useful prompt patterns
Borrow these as they are, or as a shape to write your own.
“Give me an executive summary of this page.”
“List the top 5 takeaways and what to do next.”
“Teach this topic like I am a beginner.”
“Compare the main arguments in a pros/cons table.”
“Extract all important dates, names, and numbers.”
“Turn this into a slide deck.”
Or “put this in a spreadsheet”. Evelant builds and hands you back a real downloadable file. See Code Sandbox & File Generation in the docs.
Open the composer's + menu and choose Generate image to describe a picture instead of asking a question.

Beyond a single chat
Evelant does more than answer one question at a time.
Projects
Group related chats under shared instructions and a knowledge base of your own uploaded files, so you don't re-explain context every time. Click Projects in the sidebar to get started.
Shared RoomsPaid plans, to create
Invite people into a live conversation where everyone sees the same answers arrive at once.
Multi-tab sessions
Keep a separate conversation per tab, or combine several tabs into one shared context.
Structured Data Extraction
Pull an entire table or list off a page as real rows you can download, from the side panel's toolbar.
Bring Your Own Key (BYOK)
Connect your own API key for a provider under Settings if you want to use your own billing for that provider's models.
Site-Specific Instructions
Under Settings → Site Rules, set a note, a pinned model, or turn Evelant off entirely for one specific website.
Each of these has its own detailed guide in the Documentation.
Use the web dashboard
From the web app you can also:
- Browse and search your full chat history, organized by Pinned, Projects, and regular Chats.
- Manage Projects, Site Rules, and your personalization and appearance settings.
- Connect a provider API key under BYOK, or check your plan's usage and credits.
- Contact support through the dashboard's contact page.
Troubleshooting
Extension not responding
- Refresh the tab.
- Turn the extension off and back on from your browser's extensions page.
- Make sure you're still signed in on the web app.
Cannot send a message
- Check your internet connection.
- Confirm you're signed in.
- Try a different site to see whether the issue is specific to one page.
Signed out unexpectedly
- Sign back in on the web app, then refresh the tab you're working in.
- If it keeps happening on one specific site, check whether a Site Rule set that site to “Never show.”
