This Free Android App Puts ChatGPT on Top of Every App — No More Switching Tabs

TamilTech AI summary

Arc AI is a free Android app that adds a floating AI sidebar you can swipe open from the edge of your screen, so ChatGPT or Gemini help sits on top of whatever you’re already using—Gmail, WhatsApp, Flipkart, and more—without jumping between apps. It cuts out the usual copy-paste-switch routine when you need a polished reply, a quick summary, a translation, or a price check, which is why it matters for everyday productivity on the phone. Setup is simple: grab it from the Play Store, allow “Display over other apps,” connect your ChatGPT or Gemini account (or the built-in model), and a small edge tab becomes your always-ready AI panel. Handy features include reading what’s on screen for context, drafting careful replies, on-the-fly translation, and quick EMI or lookup questions without leaving your current app. You should know it needs internet, the free tier has daily limits unless you use your own paid AI account, and you should avoid screen-reading on sensitive stuff like banking or Aadhaar—try the free tier for a week and see if the swipe habit sticks.
