What is ChatPanel?
ChatPanel is a private browser side panel (Chrome, Edge, Brave, Arc) that brings your own AI model or agent with built-in anonymization of sensitive data before it leaves your browser. It combines note-taking, meeting transcription, shared context, and MCP tool integration—all running locally with no central ChatPanel server.

ChatPanel pros
- Privacy-first with reversible data anonymization (emails, phones, names, locations) that runs on-device before sending to any model

- Integrated meeting assistant for Zoom, Meet, Teams, and Webex with live caption transcription and action item extraction
- Unified knowledge base combining past chats, linked wiki-style notes, and meeting transcripts searchable in one place
ChatPanel cons
- Limited to four browsers (Chrome, Edge, Brave, Arc)—no Firefox or Safari support
- Local agent setup requires a helper app; some configuration complexity for advanced users
- Pricing tiers not fully detailed in documentation; free tier limitations unclear beyond one included MCP tool
Frequently asked questions about ChatPanel
Does ChatPanel upload my data to its servers?
No. Sensitive data (emails, phones, cards, names, locations) is anonymized on your device before any request leaves your browser, then restored in replies you read. No ChatPanel server sits in the path.
Can I use different AI models?
Yes. You can use the in-browser model, Ollama, LM Studio, 20+ cloud APIs, or agents like Claude Code, Codex, GitHub Copilot, and Antigravity—and switch between them mid-conversation.
Does ChatPanel work with meeting platforms?
Yes. It works with Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, and Webex, turning live captions into running notes, decisions, and action items in your browser—no bot joins the call.
What if I want to use my own tools or agents?
You can add MCP servers from a built-in directory or point ChatPanel at your own agents. If you use a coding agent, its own tools come along too.
