Broken prompts.
Keeps throwing API errors and popup failures. The developer abandoned it in late 2023.
Right-click menu triggers a blank popup half the time. Not worth configuring custom prompts if it breaks every week.
Totally dead.
AI-synthesized perspectives grounded in live site inspection, pricing structure, and category benchmarks — presented as editorial viewpoints rather than individual customer testimonials.
Highlight text on any page, right-click, and choose from your saved prompts to fire off an AI request without leaving the tab.
Create, edit, and organize your own prompts in the options page so the extension adapts to your own workflows instead of a fixed set of actions.
Responses render in a small popup over the current page, with partial updates so text appears while the model is still generating.
Connect through the OpenAI API for streamed responses, giving faster perceived results than a single blocking request.
A popup indicator shows whether your ChatGPT session is ready, so you know when a request will succeed.
ChatGPT Context Companion is a lightweight productivity extension built around one simple idea: your most useful AI prompts should be one right-click away. Instead of switching to a chat tab and pasting text, you highlight a passage on any site, open the context menu, and pick a prompt you have saved in the extension's options page. A compact popup streams the answer back next to the content you were already reading.
Prompts are fully user-defined, so the same extension can act as a summarizer, translator, explainer, editor, or brainstorming partner depending on how you configure it. The developer has also added support for the OpenAI API with streaming responses, which means answers can appear progressively rather than after a long pause, and a status popup that shows the current state of your ChatGPT session.
The extension is free, weighs roughly 146 KiB, and declares only website content as the data it handles, with no selling of data to third parties. Its audience is small but established — about 2,000 users — and the last published update was version 2.2.2 in December 2023.
Select a difficult paragraph in a paper or article and run a saved 'explain this simply' prompt to get a plain-language breakdown in place.
Highlight an awkward sentence in a document editor or CMS and apply a tone or clarity prompt without breaking your writing flow.
Use a saved translation prompt on any snippet of a page to read it in your own language immediately.
Run a summarization prompt against long technical documentation to pull out the parts that matter before you dive in.
