Clico is a powerful Browser extension designed to be your ultimate writing and productivity partner. Unlike traditional AI tools that require you to copy and paste text back and forth, Clico lives directly inside your browser. It reads and understands the context of the webpage you are currently viewing, allowing it to perform tasks with an unmatched level of relevance and intelligence.

@alex_tao all in one extension for text operations in computer I see. I might needed this. I want to know how does context management work. Is it external LLM API integration?
Clico
@teok555 We implemented our own context engineering infra to recognize users' possible intent and produce a better output. And we are using models like ChatGPT 5.4, Claude 4.6 etc. for the generation. I think it's more like an entry and there're a lot that can be done in the coming days. I'm talking about agentic workflows, multi-modal capabilities and more. Stay tuned!
@alex_tao Wow, i try and I love the seamsless integration but i see that is only on google do you not cover other platform like edge
Clico
@ulrichng Bruhh finally someone asks me this question. We've already supported chromium & firefox browser. Also in the process of waiting for Edge's review. Hopefully it can go live next week (they are so slowwwww)

How does this handle complex pages like dashboards or long data filed docs? Congrats on the launch!
Clico
@jasonhowie Thanks for the kind words,! To answer your question, we handle complex pages by parsing the DOM directly to extract the most relevant content. We’ve also built custom optimizations for high-frequency use cases and implemented context compression to ensure the model stays focused on what matters most. Hope you enjoy using Clico!
Installed it and went through the flow. The product itself works well, but there's a drop-off waiting to happen right after install. You land with four shortcuts to learn, ⌘+O, Double ⌘, Hold ⌘, Highlight, but no clear signal for which one to try first. A new user opens a tab, nothing looks different and within 48 hours the extension is forgotten.
The gap is the bridge between install and first value. One forced first action right after install, pick your strongest use case, put it directly in front of the user, make it the only thing to do in that moment. That would close that gap before the user even has a chance to drift. What does your Day 1 usage rate look like on new installs?

@arun_tamang Hey Arun, good catch! Currently we'll direct users to a playground where we provide a input field and they can try out features themselves. But we do considering making it more intuitive so that ppl know what to do after installing it
@alex_tao The playground is a good instinct, it gives users a safe space to experiment. The gap I'd watch is whether users actually find it after install, or whether it gets skipped because nothing is pointing them there. A playground that requires the user to seek it out has the same problem as the shortcuts. It depends on the curiosity that most new users haven't built yet. The forced moment works because it removes the decision entirely.
Clico
@arun_tamang yeah it's good point. Actually the users will be auto redirected to the playground after they finish onboarding. It's right on the center of the dashboard and you'll find it once you start using it:)
@alex_tao Good to know the redirect is built in, that solves the discovery problem. The thing worth watching then is whether users actually complete the onboarding before they try to use the extension. If someone installs and immediately tries ⌘+O without going through the flow first, they hit the shortcuts without context. The redirect only works if the onboarding gets finished.
Clipboard Canvas v2.0
Loving the seamless integration, but how does Clico handle context-switching when multiple tabs are open with different topics? That could be tricky to manage!
Clico
@trydoff Hey Trydoff, good question! You can directly tell Clico which tab you are using with a simple @ and it will automatically know what to do. Try it out!

Can I use it to write a natural email fast from Gmail?
Clico
@charlenechen_123 bet! you can even do it with 50 RE:RE:RE:RE sequences without losing the context ;)
super clean, happy launch day! quick one on the voice input - when you hold ⌘ and speak, does it still use the page context to understand what you're asking, or is it just transcription at that point?
Clico
@jens_deryckere1 Thanks for the hype and the kind wishes! Yes, it definitely uses the page context—holding ⌘ acts as an entry point for the AI to process what's on your screen, so it provides a relevant, context-aware response rather than just transcribing.
Love Clico's approach to building the personal context layer and helping users utilize it for everyday work, but where would Clico store my personal information? Could it be deployed locally?
Clico
@jinhao_bai2 hey jinhao, good point! currently we don't store user's sensitive personal information and the only thing that we need to use is the custom instruction that you set up previously, which is kinda like a system prompt. Also local deployment is something we've thought about before, might considering supporting that in the future
