Nextpage

Cross-platform desktop app (Electron) for split-pane search + AI chat. Click a result to add it as a source; you stay on the results page.

AI chat answers are a small window: a few links, a confident summary, and no next page. Search still has one. Nextpage keeps Google, Bing, or Yandex open beside DeepSeek, ChatGPT, or Perplexity so you can page through live results and feed the chat the URLs, titles, and snippets the model never opened.

The model does not pick the sources. You do.

How to use

1. Search on the left as you would in a normal browser, including later result pages.
2. Click a result to append it to the chat input. Navigation is cancelled, so you stay on the results list.
3. Ctrl+Click a link to open it in your system browser.
4. Send the prompt from the chat pane as usual (log in to the provider there if you need to).

Toolbar:

Redirect URLs from the search engine are resolved to the real page URL before they are inserted.

Google login will not function within the app, as Google has blocked OAuth requests from embedded browsers (such as Electron, Android WebView, iOS WKWebView, and CEF) since 2021.

To work around this, you can either:

• Log in using an email and password (the simplest option), or
• Log in through a regular Chrome browser, then copy the session cookies into the app’s persistent storage partition (persist:ai-chat).

What it isn’t

• Not a new model and not a hosted search API.
• Not “search for me”: the chat does not choose what to read; you keep the result list open and choose.
• Not a button inside ChatGPT. It is a desktop window with two real webviews.
• Not a web browser extension for SERP links extraction.
• Not a web browser extension for web pages summarization.

Requirements

• Node.js (current LTS is fine)
• The matching OS (or CI) for packaged installers: Windows for NSIS, macOS for DMG/zip, Linux for AppImage/deb. You can still run from source on any platform with Electron.

Run from source

npm install
npm test
npm start

npm start and npm run dev both launch Electron in development mode.

Packaged installers

Each command generates the app icon, compiles TypeScript, and writes artifacts under dist/. Run the Mac and Linux scripts on those OSes (or in CI); dist:mac cannot produce a DMG from Windows.

npm run dist        # same as dist:win — NSIS installer
npm run dist:win
npm run dist:mac    # DMG + zip (arm64 and x64)
npm run dist:linux  # AppImage + deb
npm run dist:all    # all three platforms (fails for targets the host cannot build)

Limitations

The left pane is the real search site; the right pane is the real chat site. Result parsing and chat-input injection depend on those pages’ DOM and will break when they change. Logins, CAPTCHAs, and rate limits are the same as in a normal browser.
