Panelize › ChatALL alternative
A ChatALL alternative that runs in your browser
Short answer: if you want to ask ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek and other AI chatbots the same question at once without installing a desktop app, Panelize is a free, open-source Chrome and Edge extension that does it with the accounts you are already logged into. No API keys needed.
ChatALL (齐叨) is a popular open-source desktop app that sends one prompt to many AI bots and shows the answers together. It pioneered this idea. Its last release, v1.85.110, came out on May 22, 2025, and many of the bots it lists, such as Bing Chat and Bard, have since been renamed or retired. If you are looking for something that keeps up with today's chatbots, here is how Panelize compares.

The key difference: the real website vs. a reverse-engineered connection
ChatALL talks to each chatbot from inside its own app. Its README is candid that web-connected bots "rely on reverse engineering" and often break when a provider changes its site, and it recommends API access instead, which means API keys and pay-per-use billing.
Panelize avoids both. Each panel is the provider's website, so the chat, the model picker, file uploads and your paid plan all work as they do in a normal tab. Panelize only types your prompt into every panel and presses send.
- No API keys, no extra bill. Free accounts work, and ChatGPT Plus, Claude Pro or Google AI Pro work with their own models and limits.
- New models on day one. When a provider adds a model to its website, you can pick it in the panel immediately.
- Nothing to install outside the browser. It runs in Chrome and Edge on any desktop OS.
- The trade-off: Panelize still depends on each site's layout to type and send. When a provider redesigns, a panel can need an update. Your history lives in each provider's account, not in one local archive.
When ChatALL is the better fit
- You want a standalone desktop app rather than a browser extension.
- You want every conversation saved in one local history on your computer.
- You mainly use API-based models and already have the keys.
When Panelize is the better fit
- You want to use the ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok or DeepSeek accounts you already have, free or paid.
- You want current chatbots, including Chinese ones like DeepSeek, Kimi, Doubao, Qwen, Zhipu and Yuanbao, next to the Western ones.
- You want up to 12 AIs on one screen in a layout you choose.
- You prefer an extension with no server and no analytics inside it.
How to switch
- Install Panelize from the Chrome Web Store. It works in Chrome and Edge.
- Log in to the AI sites you want to use in normal tabs.
- Press Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + E, pick your providers and a layout.
- Type a prompt and click Send All.
