Most problems have a quick fix. Find yours below. If it is not there, write to us with the details listed at the bottom of this page.
Getting started
Where is XAICG after I install it?
Click the puzzle icon in Chrome's toolbar and pin XAICG. Then open x.com: every post has AI Reply and Question buttons. The XAICG icon in the toolbar opens the popup, where you write posts and threads. Settings is at the bottom of the popup.
How do I start the free trial?
Click the XAICG icon and press Sign in with Google. Chrome asks which account to use. You get 20 free generations, with no card to enter. The trial is one per Google account.
Sign in with Google does not work
- XAICG signs in through Chrome itself, so Chrome has to be signed in to a Google account. Use the profile button at the top right of Chrome.
- This kind of sign-in works in Google Chrome. Other browsers built on Chrome do not offer it.
- If you closed Google's prompt, press the button again.
On X
The AI Reply buttons are missing
- Reload the tab. The extension only joins pages opened after it was installed or updated.
- Check that XAICG is switched on at
chrome://extensions. - It works on x.com and twitter.com, in Chrome 111 or newer.
- X changes its pages from time to time. When that breaks the buttons we update the extension, and Chrome installs the update by itself.
The draft was copied instead of typed into the reply box
That happens when XAICG cannot get to X's reply box. Paste the draft with Ctrl+V (Cmd+V on a Mac). If you would rather always paste, open Settings and choose Copy to the clipboard under On x.com.
The draft does not sound like me
Open Settings and describe your persona in your own words, or start from a preset and edit it. Set your default tone, reply length and language there too. For a different take on the same post, press the round button beside the reply box: it shows another draft and does not use another generation.
It asks me to wait, or says it is busy
XAICG writes one draft at a time for each browser, with a short pause between them. Wait a second and click again.
How do I turn the sounds off?
Open Settings and switch off Sound effects under On x.com.
Plans and licenses
My trial ran out, or I reached today's limit
The free trial is 20 generations in total. Paid plans have a daily allowance that starts again at 00:00 UTC. The popup shows how many you have left. The plans are listed at xaicg.uniquelabs.org/#pricing
I bought a license but I am still on the trial
- Sign in with the Google account whose email address you gave when you bought. The license belongs to that account.
- Open Settings and press Refresh.
- Or open I have a license key in Settings, paste your key and press Activate.
It says the license is in use on its maximum number of devices
Each plan covers a number of browsers. In Settings you can move the license to the browser you are on, and the browser that has been idle longest gives it up. To free a seat yourself, open Settings on a browser you no longer use and press Remove license from this browser.
I lost my license key
If you sign in with Google you do not need the key: the license follows your account. Otherwise write to us from the email address you bought with and we will send you a new key. The old one stops working.
Refunds and billing
Write to us from the email address you bought with. How refunds are handled is set out in the terms: xaicg.uniquelabs.org/terms
When something is wrong
"Can't reach the XAICG server"
Check your internet connection and try again in a minute. If other sites work and this keeps happening, tell us.
"This version of XAICG is out of date"
Chrome updates extensions by itself, usually within a day. To update now, open chrome://extensions, turn on Developer mode, and press Update.
Delete my account and data
Write to us from your account's email address, or send the Install ID shown in Settings under About. We erase your Google account ID, name and email address. The privacy policy has the details: xaicg.uniquelabs.org/privacy
Writing to us
So that we can help in the first reply, please include:
- your Install ID and the extension's version, both shown in Settings under About
- what you clicked and what happened, with the exact message if there was one
- a screenshot, if you can
