What is an AI Assistant?
Think of them like custom GPTs — but built directly into your browser. Each Assistant is a specialist AI persona with its own expertise, rules, and output format. Activate one and your Mr Oye AI becomes that specialist for every conversation on that tab. Switch anytime, or deactivate to go back to default.
Custom GPTs (ChatGPT)
- Lives inside ChatGPT — you have to navigate there
- You copy-paste content from your browser manually
- Context switches break your workflow
- Requires a ChatGPT Plus subscription
Mr Oye Assistants
- Lives in your browser sidebar — always one click away
- Reads the page you're on automatically — no copy-paste
- Switch specialists without leaving the tab
- Included in Power ($49 one-time, no monthly fee)

Everything you need to know
Try before you buy — 3 free preview replies
Every paid assistant gives you 3 free replies so you can see it in action. After 3 replies, you'll be prompted to unlock with Power ($49 one-time) to continue. No payment needed to preview — just activate and ask.
What "Activate" actually does
Activating an assistant makes all of Mr Oye's conversations on that tab use that specialist's expertise and rules. It stays active through page refreshes until you deactivate it. To go back to default: click Deactivate on the active assistant.
Switching assistants
- Open Mr Oye sidebar → Assist tab
- Scroll to the Assistants section
- Click Activate on a different one
- The previous assistant is automatically deactivated
- Or click Deactivate to go back to default AI
Works with your AI model
Assistants use whatever AI model you've set up in Mr Oye settings — your own Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini API key, or Mr Oye Pro credits. No extra setup needed. The assistant personality layers on top of your chosen AI.
