The Gemini Toolbox

About

BETA: macOS only (Windows support coming soon)

Transform your Google Gemini sessions into a focused research workflow with The Gemini Toolbox. It adds a compact, on‑page toolbox to `gemini.google.com` so you can act on selected text instantly—without opening new tabs or breaking your flow.

How it works
- Select text: Highlight any word, phrase, or claim inside a Gemini conversation.
- Choose a tool: A floating menu appears with the best tools for the job.
- Get results in place: Each tool opens in a draggable, resizable window that remembers its position.

Tools included
- 💬 Ge‑Mini: Ask concise, single‑paragraph questions in a mini chat.
- 😈 Devil’s Advocate: Challenge a statement with counterarguments, assumptions, and perspectives.
- ✅ Fact Checker: Verdict (TRUE/FALSE/MISLEADING/etc.), summary, evidence, and sources.
- 💡 Explainer: Simple explanations for complex terms.
- 🖼️ Photos: Image search results with source links and lazy‑loaded previews.
- ⏳ Timeline: Multiple, detailed timelines for a chosen topic.
- 👥 Key Figures: Influential people relevant to a movement, event, or idea.
- 📍 Map: Instantly embed a map for places and addresses.

Instant access and full control
- Free Trial: Use core tools immediately—no setup required. (Rate‑limited.)
- Bring Your Own Key: Add your own free Google API keys for fully private, unlimited usage. With your keys, requests go directly from your browser to Google.

Built for privacy
- Runs only on `gemini.google.com`.
- Requests the single Chrome permission “storage” to save your settings and window positions.
- With your API keys: requests go straight to Google; no proxy involved.
- Without keys: a rate‑limited proxy is used to enable a free trial; it’s designed not to persist request content.

Seamless workflow and customization
- Windows you can drag and resize; layout is remembered.
- Automatically adapts to Gemini’s light/dark theme.
- Keyboard‑friendly and fast—built to stay out of your way.

Requirements
- Chrome on macOS (BETA). Windows support coming soon.
- Works exclusively on `https://gemini.google.com/*`.

Optional setup for power users
Add your Google Generative Language and Custom Search API keys in the extension’s Options to unlock direct, private requests and higher limits.
