Everything you need to get the most out of MultiScreenAI.
1. Getting started
- Click Get started and sign in with your Google account.
- Open API keys in the workspace and paste a key for any provider. The key is checked straight away and the list of models it can use loads with it.
- Pick models in each panel, type your message and press Enter.
One key is enough to start. A single OpenRouter key gives you hundreds of models from most labs.

3. Multi-screen and Test modes
Multi-screen
Every panel is its own chat with its own message box. Use it to work with several AIs on different tasks at once. The bar at the bottom can still send one message to all panels.
Test
One prompt goes to every panel. Each answer is timed (first token, total time, tokens per second) and the fastest finished answer is marked. Use Blind test to hide model names and shuffle the panels, star the best answer, then press Reveal models.
Both modes support up to six panels. Use the expand button on a panel to focus it, and Add AI to add another.
4. Web search, files and images
Switch tools on in a panel's header. What is available depends on the provider's API:
- Anthropic: web search with sources, code execution that creates downloadable files (.zip, .xlsx, .pdf, charts).
- Google: web search with sources, code execution.
- Perplexity: searches the web on every answer.
- Image models such as GPT Image 2 and Nano Banana (Gemini) answer with pictures you can save.
Tools like code execution and image generation are billed by the provider to your key.
5. Attaching files
Click Attach, paste, or drop files anywhere on the page. Up to eight per message.
- Images are resized in your browser and sent to models that can see images.
- PDFs (up to 3 MB) are read natively by Claude, Gemini and OpenAI models. Other providers get a short note instead.
- Text and code files (up to 400 KB) are included in the message so every model can read them.
6. Working with answers
- Copy an answer, or download its code as a single file or a .zip of every code block.
- Send to another panel to have a different AI check and improve an answer.
- Merge answers asks one model to combine every panel's latest answer into one.
- Regenerate or Stop any panel on its own.
- Export saves the whole chat as a Markdown file. Chats are also saved in the sidebar on this device.
7. Keyboard shortcuts

8. Troubleshooting

- "Rate limit or quota reached": wait a moment or add credit with the provider.
