Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to common questions. View all FAQs →
What is Tangent?
Tangent is a floating, on-page AI assistant that helps you stay immersed in the content you're reading. Instead of switching tabs or copy-pasting into a chatbot, Tangent appears directly on your webpage with context-aware intelligence.
How does Tangent compare to a normal chatbot?
A normal chatbot requires you to stop, switch tabs, and provide context. Tangent eliminates that friction by understanding what you're reading, what you highlighted, and what problem you're solving—anchoring your thinking directly to the page.
What are Prompt Chips?
Prompt Chips are one-click action buttons that appear when you select text. Each chip contains a pre-written prompt for tasks like summarizing, explaining, or rewriting—so you don't have to craft prompts manually.
Is Tangent secure?
Yes. Tangent uses a security-first design with encrypted communication, automatic redaction of sensitive information, and it automatically disables itself on banking, medical, and other sensitive websites.
What browsers does Tangent support?
Tangent works on Chrome and most Chromium browsers including Brave, Edge, Opera, and Arc. A Safari version is planned for the future.
How much does Tangent cost?
Tangent offers three tiers: Pro ($10/mo), Business Solo ($29/mo), and Business Teams ($49/mo per seat). All plans include a 7-day free trial with no credit card required.
Does Tangent work on every website?
Nearly every modern website supports Tangent, including Gmail, Notion, YouTube, and most web apps. It works anywhere you can highlight text on a page.
