Phew AI Tab

Phew AI Tab is a browser extension designed to help users manage large numbers of open tabs through artificial intelligence. It addresses the common problem of tab overload by automatically grouping new tabs as they are opened, using AI to analyze the content of each tab page and assign it to a relevant group. These groups are displayed in a vertical sidebar, allowing users to quickly browse and access their resources without manually sorting through dozens of tabs. The tool offers an auto-collapse feature that hides groups not currently in focus, reducing visual clutter and helping users concentrate on their active tasks. Users can toggle this behavior on or off based on their preference. A keyboard shortcut (Option + E on Mac, or a customizable equivalent) lets users cycle through groups and switch focus rapidly, making it easy to move between different topics or projects. AI grouping works by reading the content of each tab as it is created. For example, if a user opens multiple research papers, news articles, and project management dashboards, the AI will separate them into distinct groups such as “Research,” “News,” and “Work.” This analysis happens locally on the user’s machine; the results are saved locally, ensuring privacy and quick access. Once grouped, users can collapse or expand any group with a single click. The extension also includes a global search feature that scans all open tabs and their saved AI summaries. Users can type a keyword or phrase to instantly locate the tab they need, even if the tab title is not descriptive. This is especially useful when dozens of tabs are open across multiple windows. Phew AI Tab integrates seamlessly with the Chrome browser. After installation, it adds a sidebar that displays the AI-generated groups. Users can drag an
